KMB has served Hong Kong people for more than 80 years, witnessed the rise and decline of Hong Kong and shared prosperity with China and Hong Kong. 1932 In May, the colonial government reorganized the public transport services in Hong Kong and granted two bus service franchises-Hong Kong Island and Kowloon/New Territories. The latter was awarded to KMB by the then Hong Kong government.

Extended data:
1932 In September, the Hong Kong Government intended to reorganize the bus services with fierce competition in the region and invite public tenders to undertake the bus franchise. With the cooperation of Dr. Lei Ruide, an overseas Chinese returning from Australia, Tang successfully won the bus franchise in Kowloon and the New Territories.
After Deng and Lei Ruide invested in the patent right, they acquired Kai Tak Bus Company and set up a 106 single-decker bus fleet, and successively invited businessmen Lin Mingxun, Lei Liang and former Donghua Chairman Tan to become shareholders. Finally, Kowloon Motor (1933) Co., Ltd. was established on 1933, with Deng as the chairman and traffic director.
