Capital Region Urban Transport (CRUT) is a public transit agency committed to providing sustainable mobility options to the residents and visitors of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Khordha, Pipili, Puri, Konark, Rourkela, Sambalpur & Berhampur.
Initially known as Bhubaneswar Puri Transport Services Limited (BPTSL), CRUT was established in 2018 to manage and operate bus services on intra-city and inter-city routes. Over the years, it has evolved into a more comprehensive public transportation system with the launch of its new initiatives.
One of the major initiatives is the Ama Bus, launched on 6th November, 2018. The buses are designed to provide comfortable rides to passengers with modern amenities. Ama Bus operates on several intracity and intercity routes in the urban areas of the Capital Region, Sundargarh, Sambalpur and Ganjam district of Odisha. Over the years, CRUT expanded its Ama Bus services to make public transport accessible to all.
In addition, CRUT launched its e-rickshaw service under the brand name of Ama E-Ride that provides first and last-mile connectivity by acting as feeder service to Ama Bus in different parts of Bhubaneswar.
With these initiatives, CRUT is redefining “The Way We Move” and “Ride With Pride” by integrating multimodal alternatives for residents and visitors. CRUT’s team of experts, representing transportation planning, technology, operations and communications are working together to provide excellence in public transit service and strive to continuously improve Odisha’s urban transportation system.
