The story
JVB was founded on 21 November 1919 after Automobil A/S "Jotunheim" and A/S Valdresrutens Automobilselskap joined together on the same day as dissolving themselves. JVB's bus operations can therefore be traced back to 1909. By summer 1910, the two companies had a total of 11 buses in operation from Fagernes. No other place in Norway had this number of vehicles in operation.
In 1944, MB Bitihorn was taken over by JVB.
In 1947, JVB took over the route to Ola Paulsrud in Øystre Slidre Municipality.
In 1952, JVB began tour buses for Winge Reisebureau and "Norwegian Fjord Lines" tours between Oslo and Bergen.
In 1953, (15 August) JVB and Ola Westheim bought the bus "Vesle-Venus" as the first bus to travel through Valdresflye.
In 1954, JVB took over L/L Valdres Lastebilselskap, and JVB took over all personal passengers.
In 1956, JVB took over Anton Sørumshaugen's route between Fagernes and Aurdal.
