The production of the GAZ-3 – bus with 16 seats started in 1933. In 1936 the bus was renamed to GAZ-03-30, where -03 meant model of chassis and -30 – model of body.

Buses had single-wing back door until 1937, after which it was replaced by a swing door. From 1938 on buses were transferred to the upgraded chassis MM with 50-hp engine, the same as all GAZ-AA models.

GAZ-03-30 buses were used for local passenger traffic and official use. GAZ-03-30 became the most used bus of the pre-war period.

During the WWII period many GAZ-03-30 buses were in military service. Buses were used as troop carriers, staff cars, ambulances etc. A lot of buses were captured by German Army and used until the end of WWII.

There were 14,809 GAZ-3 and GAZ-03-30 buses produced between 1933-1950.
