History
From funding to the end of the World War Ⅱ
This bus company was originally taxi company which was named as Momoyama Car.Co and funded on 20 July 1922. And, the company chiefly took passengers who visit the Fushimi Momoyama no Misasagi. After that, the company worked in close cooperation with Keihan Electric Railway and the company became subsidiary to the Keihan in 1924. And also merged Daigo Kisen which ran water transportation company in Lake Biwa to Keihan Bus in 1930.
On one hand, Jōhoku Car Company which established in Osaka in 1924 expanded service area to Hirakata area, what was worse, the company would expand the other areas. So, Keihan Electric Railway acquired shares of the company. In 1930, merged Johoku Car Company to Keihan Bus as Keihan Bus succeeded to a bus department of Shinkeihan Railway which was subsidiary company of Keihan Electric Railway. So, Keihan Bus has had extensive service areas in Osaka and Kyoto, Shiga.
