China Motor Bus

The China Motor Bus Company, Limited (Chinese: 中華汽車有限公司), often abbreviated as CMB, is a property developer based in Hong Kong.

Ngan Shing-kwan and Wong Yiu Nam formed the China Motor Bus Company, Limited, in 1923 to provide transport services in the Kowloon Peninsula of Hong Kong.

CMB adopted a policy of improving its service during the 1970s, by introducing a new type of rear-engined bus (Daimler Fleetline) and reforming the route number system.

Their services provided more comfortable seats, an air-conditioned fleet, and a more direct route (via the Aberdeen Tunnel) from Chi Fu Fa Yuen to Admiralty.

Since losing its franchising rights, CMB's main business focus has shifted to real estate, by redeveloping its former bus depot properties.

However, this service ceased on 30 June 2015 as the new environmental protection ordinance began to phase out pre Euro IV diesel commercial vehicles.
