[Spice Odyssey]

This is the first bus used to ply within the Bangalore city at the time of the British Raj. This bus is exhibited outside the inter-state bus terminus in Mejestic circle, Bangalore. The BTS's were originally red in colour, but BMTC's now are blue in colour

The  present BMTC( Bangalore Metropolitan Transport company)'s origin is as a private company called Bangalore Transport Company (BTC) Limited founded in 1940 catering to the entire city with just 98 buses. The then Government of Mysore took over the city transport from the private company by an act and ran buses up to 10- mile radius in the city in 1956 calling it Bangalore Transport Service [BTS].
