How it started
History
The city bus service began in 2006 with a fleet of 100 buses. The city buses were brought under the control of Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM), the Indian government's urban-modernisation scheme, in 2009. The service, formerly known as Mahanagar Bus Seva in Hindi, began operating on 6 July 1922.
