A while back we had made a map with all bus depots in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. It looks.. pretty ?
Anyway, idea was to make something better and useful. A map you can interact with. We observed, a lot of you get confused by depot names, codes and regions. It was difficult for us as well. So, here you go. A map with all depots containing Zone, Region and District information.

FAQs
What is a depot code ?
Each depot has a 3 or 4 word abbreviation for ease in identification. For example, Dilsukhnagar is DSNR and Mancherial is MNCL. These codes are painted on front and back of the bus. You can use these to identify depot and complain about or praise the service :)
