Question 927
What was the initial service of the Assam State Transport Department when it started?
Answer
Two buses between Guwahati and Nagaon
Why?
The correct answer is Two buses between Guwahati and Nagaon . Key Points The Assam State Transport Department, the precursor to the Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC), began its operations modestly. Its initial service involved running just two buses. These pioneering services were specifically provided on the route between Guwahati and Nagaon. This humble beginning in 1948 marked the formal establishment of organized public bus transport in the state. This laid the foundational groundwork for the extensive network of bus services that ASTC provides today across Assam and to its neighboring regions.
