Haryana Roadways Transport Corporation is the Public Transport unit of the Government of Haryana in India. It is the principal service provider for passenger transport in the state.

History

In 1966, when Haryana was carved out of Punjab there arose a need of separate transport unit which would connect every part of the state with other parts effectively. So, in 1966 HRTL was established with two Regional Transport Authorities. On December 1, 1987, three RTAs were appointed at Ambala, Hisar and Faridabad. On January 16, 1991, three more RTAs were created at Rohtak, Karnal and Rewari.[1] Now, each district head quarter has Regional Transport Office (RTO) headed by Regional Transport Secretary and vehicle registration and driving licenses can be obtained from each district head quarter (RTA office) and Tehsil head quarter (usually SDO-Civil i.e. Subdivisional officer - Civil).[2]

Fleet of Buses

Haryana Roadways is the principal service provider for passenger transport in the State. It has a fleet of approx. 3400 buses being operated by 21 depots, each headed by a General Manager, and 17 sub-depots functioning under the depot concerned. These services are being provided to every part of the State as well as to important destinations in the neighbouring States. Haryana Roadways plies on an average 1.11 million Km every day and carries 1.12 million passengers daily on 1116 Intra-State and 446 Inter-State routes.[3] The state has decided to augment its fleet by 4,100 by the end of year 2012.[4]
