History
Charles Hicks commenced operations on 18 October 1924 with six White buses. It became a public company in 1925. It had its headquarters in Crows Nest with the depot in Willoughby.
It quickly expanded to become the largest bus operator on the Lower North Shore. By 1925 it operated 11 routes, many of which connected with Sydney Ferries Limited services:
In May 1927, route 95 ceased with the Gladesville to Lane Cove section taken over by Longueville Motor Bus Company. With the introduction of the Transport (Co-ordination) Act 1931 that banned buses from competing with trams, the business ceased on 31 October 1931.

At its peak, the fleet totalled 33, most of which were Whites.
