Mysore/Mysuru: From its humble beginnings with Chevrolet engine buses to today’s state-of-the-art Ashwamedha and Pallakki class services, Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) has completed a remarkable 64-year journey.
This evolution began when Mysore Government Road Transport Department (MGRTD) was renamed Mysore State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) on Jan. 1, 1961, under CIRT Act of 1951. The Corporation was later rechristened KSRTC in 1973, and its Foundation Day is celebrated annually on Aug. 1.
