Non-air-conditioned KMB - Miniature Building Blocks

Kowloon Motor Bus (1933) Limited (referred to as KMB) is the first company in Hong Kong specializing in public bus business. It was established in 1933 and mainly operates franchised bus services in Kowloon and the New Territories. It currently operates 392 bus routes with a total of 3,842 units. Bus is the largest bus company in Hong Kong. In 1949, KMB took the lead in introducing the first batch of double-decker buses from the United Kingdom to cope with the increasing passenger volume. Since then, the bus service in Hong Kong has tended to be dominated by double-decker buses. The Hong Kong Cross-Harbour Tunnel was officially opened to traffic in 1972, and KMB, which has always provided bus services to Kowloon and the New Territories, entered Hong Kong Island for the first time. In the same year, KMB also officially adopted the one-person control mode, that is, a cash box is installed near the cab, and the driver monitors whether each passenger has put enough fare into the cash box, replacing the previous conductors and inspectors. The KMB shown in this product is a non-air-conditioned bus. In the middle of the night on May 8, 2012, the last batch of non-air-conditioned buses in Hong Kong completed the historical task. These non-air-conditioned buses were the main force of the KMB fleet in the 1990s. They took many citizens to work and school every day, witnessing the development of Hong Kong bus services. Transformation and progress.
