Highlights

Andhra State and Nizam dominion were separate before the reorganization of states by Government of India
The decision was naturally in favour of nationalization, so that there would be uniformity throughout the state of Andhra Pradesh. In pursuance of this decision and the recommendations of the Planning Commission that wherever road services are run by a State, a Corporation should be formed so that it could provide the necessary economy and lead to a more efficient administration, the Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC), was established with effect from 11th January 1958, as per G.O.M.S
When the APSRTC was formed, it took over the assets and liabilities of its predecessor, the Road Transport Department (RTD)

Summary

Introduction

Andhra State and Nizam dominion were separate before the reorganization of states by Government of India. After the reorganization of states and consequent formation of Andhra Pradesh on 1st November, 1956, the Road Transport Department of erstwhile Nizam’s dominion continued to work as a Government Department with its services operating only in nine districts of Telangana region of previous Nizam’s dominion. Prior to the formation of the APSRTC the road transport services in the twin cities of Hyderabad-Secunderabad, Warangal and Kothagudem and the mofussil services in the nine districts of Telangana were under operation by the RTD. Kukatpalli and Charminar depots were started in November, 1965 and April, 1966, respectively to operate city services more efficiently. Around this time, trailer buses were introduced in city services.
