Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation

The origin of APSRTC dates back to June, when it was first established as NSR-RTD (Nizam State Rail & Road Transport Department), a wing of Nizam State Railway in the erstwhile Hyderabad State, with 27 buses and 166 employees. During the past 77 years, it has registered a steady growth from 27 to 14,123 buses with 423 bus stations, 129 Depots, and 697 bus shelters.

The Corporation’s buses cover 39.93 lakh km. and carry 37.38 lakh people to their destinations every day. They connect 14,123 villages to all major towns and cities in A.P which constitutes 95% of Road Transport. APSRTC operates in the City and Mofussil areas. The Corporation’s buses also ply to important towns and cities in the neighboring States of Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Odisha, and Telangana.

The entire network is under the administrative control of 26 Regional Managers in 4 Zones. APSRTC under the present name was established on 11th January 1958 in pursuance of the Road Transport Corporations Act 1950.

The “Road Transport Corporations Act 1950” allowed for the creation of APSRTC on January 11th, 1958. The Nizam State Rail and Road Transport Department had previously included it. TSRTC is run as a distinct body as of 3 June 2015 as a result of the division of Andhra Pradesh state into Telangana and the remaining Andhra Pradesh. The state of Andhra Pradesh’s APSRTC has its headquarters at Vijayawada (Pandit Nehru Bus Stand). By the year 2029, APSRTC hopes to have converted all of its buses to electric power, employing both battery- and fuel-cell-powered vehicles.
