In October of 1904, the Street Railway Review magazine reported that "A franchise has been granted to the High Point Interurban Traction Company to build an electric line from High Point to Greensboro and from High Point to Winston Salem."

In 1906, three (3) businessmen from New York started a company to provide an electric streetcar system, which probably lasted only a year, for High Point and interurban lines to Greensboro and /or Winston-Salem (never built) as well as electric lighting and gas systems.

In 1912, the North Carolina Public Service Company purchased and re-activated the High Point streetcar system, extending lines to several of the city's textile mills and furniture plants. The streetcar lines eventually consisted of about six miles of track.

In 1909, the W. N. Coler Company of New York City purchased the streetcar systems and electrical and gas utilities of Greensboro and the franchise for High Point, to organize a new company, the North Carolina Public Service Company. This company was acquired by Duke Power Company of Charlotte, NC, in 1926. The High Point franchise was launched in 1912 and continued until 1935.

The Electric Railway Journal of March 19, 1927 reported: "A bus system to be placed in operation in High Point, NC, some time this spring will mark the discontinuance of railway service. An agreement to this effect was reached by the City Council, officials of a bus company and officials of the North Carolina Public Service Company, the railway operator. The latter company waived its carrying rights in favor of the buses. The buses will be operated by the Carolina Transit Company, Columbia, but if they do not meet the needs of the city, the North Carolina Public Service Company has agreed to re-establish railway service."

The Electric Railway Journal of May 21, 1927 reported: "A bus system supplanted railway cars in High Point, NC, during the latter part of April by the Southern Public Utilities Company. Five buses were put on as a trial. When the North Carolina Public Service Company discontinued railway service it conceded its carrying rights to Chester Hawkins of the Southern Public Utilities Company rather than increase the carrying facilities. In the event that the bus system should fail, however, the Public Service Company will re-establish railway service according to a contract with the city officials."

The Electric Railway Journal of June 11, 1927 reported: "The Carolina Transit Company, a bus company operating out of South Carolina, has established a bus line at High Point, NC, to replace the North Carolina Public Service Company, operator of the electric railway system in that city. According to officials of the company, the replacement of bus service by railway service is only a temporary arrangement, it having been mutually agreed to give the bus concern an opportunity to furnish the transportation service. The company has six buses in High Point, five of which are operating on twenty-minute schedules and one of which is used for reserve. Four of the bus lines traverse the same territory as the railway, while one bus operates on a crosstown route."

1926 Dodge Bus (not High Point)

The Electric Railway Journal of November 5, 1927 reported: "The North Carolina Public Service Company started bus service in the city of High Point, NC, on Oct. 9, with five new six-cylinder street car type Dodge buses. Bus service at High Point was formerly furnished by Chester Hawkins. The Hawkins lines withdrew from the city at the close of business on Oct. 8. J. H. Jennings is manager of the High Point branch."

The Electric Railway Journal of August 1930 reported: "High Point, NC—Members of the City Council will submit a plan to officials of the North Carolina Public Service Company calling for the operation of buses here instead of street cars, and giving the company the right to remove all trackage that is not needed by the High Point, Thomasville & Denton Railroad for car shifting purposes."

The Electric Railway Journal of April 1931 reported: "High Point, NC—The North Carolina Public Service Company, following its agreement with the city recently to operate buses here for ten years, has removed the overhead on Main Street, except that needed for the use of the electric switch engine in serving the factories."
