早於1921年，香港已有巴士出現。當時巴士全數八輛，車主是位於香港島的香港大酒店(Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels Limited)。巴士服務就在這時開始。當時香港島的市民可以乘搭電車來往港島北岸各區，但九龍並沒有電車，九龍區的市民只能安步當車，除了富裕人家可以坐人力車代步。這造就了在九龍經營巴士的市場空間。「九龍汽車公司」是最早期成立的巴士公司，於1921年創辦，提供來往尖沙咀及深水的巴士服務，最初祇有幾輛Ford行走。該公司提供來往中區至淺水灣的巴士服務，除了酒店旅客是主要的乘客外，此路線亦為市民帶來了方便。
1924
一群華人向英國Thornycroft公司購買了一輛Bodicea型巴士在九龍行駛，這便是中華汽車公司，也行走尖沙咀到深水的路線。當年大多數市民從未嘗試過坐「呠呠車」的滋味，當巴士投入服務時，吸引不少市民乘搭，生意大好，也吸引了新的投資者。
1925
中華巴士公司(The China Motor Bus Company Limited)成立，他們的服務主要圍繞油麻地至深水一帶。這個時期香港的巴士公司自由競爭，存在?多家小型營辦商，包括啟德巴士公司(The Kai Tack Motor Bus Company)行走九龍城至油麻地及尖沙咀的路線，香港島則有大酒店及香港仔街坊會分別經營多條路線。較小規模的巴士公司則有、服務新界上水至元朗一帶的南興巴士公司(Nam Hing Bus Company)、只經營假日路線的泉興巴士公司(Chun Hing Motor Bus and Company)及長美巴士公司(Cheung Mei Bus Company)等。
1928
香港電車公司(Hongkong Tramways Limited)成立。
1932
鑑於巴士公司愈開愈多，政府在1932年9月為了整頓本港巴士服務，宣佈巴士公司專營權制度，並公開招標承辦專利巴士的公司，其專營權為15年。結果，九巴投得九龍及新界路線專營權；而原來與九巴一樣只在九龍服務的中巴則取得港島巴士路線專營權。兩間公司開始在此時重整車隊：中巴收購了香港大酒店、香港電車公司與及香港仔街坊福利會的巴士，巴士數目達59輛；而九巴則購入了啟德巴士公司的巴士，巴士數目則達106輛。巴士其後愈受市民歡迎。
1939
中巴巴士達109部、九巴巴士數目則達140部。可惜，這些巴士在一日間全數被充公。
1941
12月25日，當時的港督宣佈向日本投降，香港淪陷。兩間巴士公司的車輛與及的士、貨車全數歸香港自動車運送會社(Hong Kong Motor Transport Company)旗下。巴士在無軍事需要的時間仍會提供服務，然而在翌年10月起，巴士便無法提供正常的服務了。巴士在之後的服務甚不穩定，市民多改用腳踏車、三輪車等交通工具。
1945
兩個巴士公司在戰後損失慘重，當中中巴損失了百分之七十六的巴士，只餘二十六部巴士仍能運作；九巴更失去了百分之九十六的巴士，僅存的十七輛巴士中只有六部仍可使用。訂製新車是巴士公司當時的首要工作。然而，新巴士未到港前，港英政府唯有擔當協調的角色，成立港九運輸服務(Hong kong and Kowloon Transport Service)並將碩果僅存的二十三輛巴士分配行走本港各區。兩間巴士公司復業成功後，暫把貨車改裝為巴士使用。
1947
戰後大量新移民從內地湧來香港，人口暴增，交通需求與日俱增，巴士服務供不應求，九巴決定購買雙層巴士。第一輛雙層巴士於4月投入服務。中巴及九巴才先後引進新巴士並擴展車隊。翌年九巴更引入香港第一批雙層巴士：「丹拿」CVG5型(俗稱「烏嘴狗」)。由於香港之前從未有雙層巴士出現，故為了使這批雙層巴士順利行走九龍主要幹線彌敦道，事前當局還要大費周章地將路旁的樹木依情況鋸去，並把招牌限制升高至4.8米。這高度對於香港現時的巴士來說，仍然非常足夠。
1948
中巴及九巴的十五年專營權屆滿。政府宣佈兩者均可繼續其專營權1958年，為時10年
1963
五十年代起，巴士網絡隨?新發展區而伸展，路線和車輛以幾何級數增加，柴灣、觀塘、荃灣等地相繼有巴士行走。由於香港島的道路狹窄曲折，中巴直到1963年1月才有第一輛雙層巴士行走，這是一輛Dennis Loline III。香港成功行走雙層巴士後，中巴便大量購置雙層巴士。六十年代，兩巴不論單、雙層巴士都不斷添置，市區用雙層，郊區用單層，配合地形、路面和乘客需求。直到七○年代初，因新市鎮發展和郊區道路改善了，新界區和港島南區才開始行走雙層巴士。
