The company was to be registered when 6,000 shares had been applied for,[3] and was to be floated with a plan of introducing motor buses in Melbourne, Australia.
At this meeting shareholders were reported to have expressed their satisfaction with the arrival of the Daimler motor buses and the financial position of the company to date.
The chairman of directors advised that another shipment of buses was due to leave London for Australia at the end of February.
[7] In May 1913 based on the success of the Daimler buses the Melbourne Motor Omnibus Co Pty Ltd would be floated as a public company.
An extract from this advertisement is as follows: "The Melbourne Motor Omnibus Company Limited is the only registered company in Melbourne devoting itself to Motor Bus passenger transport exclusively, and has a number of buses actually running and earning revenue and a large number of buses arriving within the next three weeks.
The chassis are of Daimler manufacture, and the buses are of the latest London type, silent, fast, comfortable and convenient.
The meeting was held at the Grand United Order of Oddfellows building in La Trobe Street.
At that meeting it was noted that the Melbourne City Council had granted some new routes although the company had "not obtained everything asked for".
In July 1914 the Melbourne Motor Omnibus Co moved the garaging of all its buses to Tinning Street, Brunswick.
[19] Early testing of the Daimler CC double decker bus indicated it "glided swiftly and silently along the city streets"[20] and was complimented for its "smooth running of the engine, noiseless gears, and the quiet and easy manner in which the load is taken up when starting".
