In 1952 according to the Law concerning Transport, the bus owners formed local organizations and they created the first form of organized transport in every prefecture, the so called KTEL. The KTEL of Trikala was created with the participation of 67 owners, who until that time had been conducting separate transports. The various agencies united, started working as one. In 1959 the Bus Station was built in the city center and after adding buses that reached isolated areas the bus fleet included 103 buses.
In 2003 the KTEL of Trikala was made a public limited company under the name KTEL of Trikala Public Limited Transport, Touristic and Commercial Company. Today, the central station of the KTEL of Trikala SA is a modern complex in the ring road Larissa-Karditsa in Rizario.
