| NST DEPARTMENT:
The Nagaland State Transport came into being as
a utility service Department rather than a commercial
venture, like any other development Department
of the Government of Nagaland. The primary objective
of the Department like all other S.T.U.’s in the
country is to provide efficient, adequate and
economic as well as co-ordinated transport facility
to the people of Nagaland. Initially NST buses
were the only means of passenger transport in
the State, when it was created way back in 1965.
The State of Nagaland being land- locked with
hilly terrain, road transport is the only means
of transport both for passenger and goods services.
Therefore socio-economic development of Nagaland
entirely depends on roads and road transport,
wherein the role of NST Department is paramount
in the absence of alternative means of transport. |
In the present scenario, with the emergence of
private operators in passenger transport, the
NST still plays the important role of providing
the lowest fare in passenger services to the poor
rural population. The private operators are mostly
providing service only on profitable routes with
higher rate of fare. Therefore, the passenger
service rendered by the Department is essential
to the poor rural public of the state.The Department
presently operates 112 scheduled services throughout
the state covering 21,300 scheduled KM daily.
