About APSTS

The Arunachal Pradesh State Transport Services (APSTS) was established on December 5, 1975 with just two buses operating from Khonsa (Tirap district) to Naharkatia in Assam. Fast forward to 2021, and the APSTS now has 280 buses travelling on 119 routes.

Navigating across mountains, plateaus and forests in this hilly state is a challenge that the APSTS met with the motto of “providing safe, regular, reliable and economical” bus services to the average citizen. As of today, almost all district headquarters and important administrative centres have been connected with the far-flung corners of Arunachal Pradesh.

The APSTS operates 15 main stations in the districts of Arunachal Pradesh, along with 7 sub-stations. It offers interstate bus services to Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland. Apart from the 280-strong bus fleet, the APSTS also operates 30 Xylo and 44 Sumo services from most stations.

To keep up with modern technology and passenger demands, this operator plans to expand in the following areas:
  • Running luxury buses enabled with GPS tracking, AC and other amenities.
  • Operating cargo services to distribute goods and essential items to remote areas.
  • Providing concessional cards to students and government employees.
  • Offering free travel passes to the differently abled or special persons, with allowance for one escort.
  • Transporting of postal mail.
