KTEL (Greek: Κοινό Ταμείο Εισπράξεων Λεωφορείων, "Common Funds of Bus Proceeds") is the main intercity public transport bus service in Greece. It is a cooperation of 62 regional bus companies on the mainland of Greece and its islands. KTEL was founded in 1952,[1] and the combined KTEL fleet numbers 4,199 buses as of 2023.[2]

The KTEL companies provide 80% of all passenger transportation in Greece.[1] Interregional transport, e.g. to Athens, is provided by most of the KTEL companies.[3]
