BMTC Services in Bangalore

BMTC (Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation) has its origin in a private company called Bangalore Transport Company Limited founded in 1940 catering to the entire city with just 98 buses. The then Government of Mysore took over the city transport from the private company by an act and ran buses upto 10- mile radius in the city in 1956 calling it Bangalore Transport Service [BTS].

Bangalore boasts of a well-maintained bus stand that is situated opposite the City railway station. The Bangalore Metropolitan Transport Corporation (BMTC) handles all the buses plying within the city, and the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) operates the buses within the state as well as outside the state.
