Public Utility Transport Corporation badges


These two badges are extremely rare and will probably never be seen again.


The PUTCO bus played an integral role in South Africas history.

1945: Public Utility Transport Corporation founded by Jack Bird Barregar and listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange with an issued share capital of R810,000.


1972: PUTCO formally changes its name from Public Utility Transport Corporation to the acronym PUTCO Limited.


1983: PUTCOs fleet peaks at 3,440 buses. The buses travel 156 million kilometres a year and carry 353 million passengers a year.


1991: The effect of the taxi industry has a disastrous impact on PUTCO and the bus fleet reduces to 2,500 carrying 120 million passengers a year.
