The predecessor of the company was Autobuss, a privately owned bus company that started bus operations in Trondheim in 1929. Trondheim Bilruter did not have a monopoly on bus operation in the city. The tram operator Trondheim Sprovei operated some bus lines, and TBR only operated buses within the city limits. The buses operated by TBR were painted dark red or grey.
