National Transport Corporation
The National Transport Corporation (NTC) was set up as a body corporate to operate public transport services in Mauritius by an Act of Parliament (The National Transport Corporation Act 1979) on 24th April 1979. It started its operations on 12th March 1980. The share capital of the Corporation is fully owned by the Government.
From modest beginning, after taking over the assets of the ex-Vacoas Transport Co Ltd., the NTC has grown into a major public transport operator.
A NEW ERA
A new era has begun at the NTC. Its corporate office became officially operational as from 15 November 2017. The Corporation embarked onto a rebranding exercise, including the design of a new logo.
The modernisation of the fleet of the NTC took off with the purchase, in 2016, of one hundred semi-low floor buses from China by the NTC from its own funds. This has contributed significantly to improve the service across the island and has helped enhance the image of the Corporation.
Furthermore, the Government of the People's Republic of China has donated 20 semi- low floor buses in 2016 and 28 semi-low floor buses in 2017.
The NTC now operates 148 smart buses fitted with wifi and digital display screens.
The old buses are gradually being replaced by new ones.
NTC –A MAJOR PLAYER
The NTC, a major player in the public transportation sector, employs 2161 persons. It has a fleet of 540 buses and operates on 97 routes. An average of 3500 trips is performed out daily, including 337 dedicated school trips. Every day, the NTC buses carry a total of about 150,000 passengers and cover some 86,000 kilometers.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The National Transport
Corporation (NTC) was set up in the late seventies, to operate public
transportation services in Mauritius. The National Transport
Corporation Act was voted in Parliament on 25 July 1979 and started
operating on 12th
March 1980. NTC plays an important socio-economic role in the
country is ensuring mobility of its citizens.
From humble beginning after
taking over the assets of the defunct Vacoas Transport Co Ltd, the
NTC stands proudly as the largest public transport provider in the
country, with a workforce of over 2,000 employees at the service of
the public and a fleet of around 500 buses serving over 97 routes
across the island. We operate with a mission to connect people and
places safely, reliably, and efficiently with over 3,000 trips per
day transporting around 130,000 passengers daily.
The NTC has five regional
offices situated at Remy Ollier (Vacoas), La Tour Koenig, Riviere du
Rempart, Forest Side, Souillac and a center of Operations at Bonne
Terre, Vacoas.
E-Mobility – Energy
Transition
In keeping with the Nationally
Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the country, NTC has a fleet of
105 e-buses, 100 donated by the Government of India and 5 by the
People of the Republic of China, which puts the NTC in the forefront
of a significant electrification of its fleet with the e-buses now
charged with energy grid but with progressive shift towards the use
of photovoltaic energy for maximum possible energy autonomy and
accordingly less dependent on the grid. All the electric buses would
be fully operational by early June 2026 with a significant change in
the landscape of passenger service provided by the NTC.
