MTR Bus (legally Northwest Transit Service Area Bus Service) is a public non-franchised bus service in Hong Kong operated by the MTR Corporation, serving the northwestern part of the New Territories. It comprises a network of 22 feeder bus routes for the convenience of passengers using the MTR rapid transit network, providing access to and between many MTR stations on the Tuen Ma line and Light Rail.[1]

The service carried approximately 51 million passengers in 2019[2] and is integrated with MTR's fare system to allow Tuen Ma line and Light Rail passengers who use Octopus cards to enjoy the free feeder bus services that link many housing estates along these lines. Along with the Light Rail, the MTR Bus service also plays an important role in the internal transport network of Tuen Mun, Yuen Long and Tin Shui Wai.

The similarly named MTR Feeder Bus refers to feeder bus routes connecting to East Rail line. Currently only 4 MTR Feeder Bus routes serving Tai Po Market station are in operation. While also managed by MTR Corporation's Bus Operations division, the MTR Feeder Bus routes are franchised bus routes under Kowloon Motor Bus's franchise.
