Crete
The little history of KTEL Kritis
The history of KTELs in Crete is closely linked to the history of public transport in Greece, the first KTEL was founded in 1938 in Chania, Crete, by a group of local entrepreneurs. Its goal was to provide a reliable and affordable public transportation service to the island's residents.
- The success of the first KTEL led to the creation of other KTELs in other regions of Crete, and in 1953, the KTELs of Crete were grouped into a single federation, KTEL Crete SA. This federation is today responsible for the coordination and management of public bus transport services throughout Crete.
- Over the years, the KTELs of Crete have played an important role in the economic and social development of the island by helping to improve the mobility of people and goods, and have enabled the inhabitants of Crete to more easily access services education, health and employment.
- Today, Crete's KTELs constitute a modern and efficient public transport network. They serve the entire island, with a fleet of over 400 buses, they offer a wide range of services, including urban, intercity connections.
KTELs have played an important role in the connectivity and development of the island of Crete, providing essential transport services to locals and visitors for decades.
