KMB Route 1A is a bus route operated by Kowloon Motor Bus (KMB) in Hong Kong. It runs between Star Ferry and Sau Mau Ping (Central) and provides air-conditioned service. The route runs via Tsim Sha Tsui, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Kowloon City, San Po Kong, Ngau Tau Kok, Kwun Tong, and Sau Mau Ping.
This route holds the record for the longest time of running a mix of non-air-conditioned and air-conditioned buses, from 1991 to 2012, this despite it being one of the earliest routes to introduce air-conditioned bus service.
