A system of Post (Anche) was initially introduced by Chikkadevaraja Wodeyar (1673 – 1704) in the city. There was a news carrier in each revenue division whose job was to look after transmission of letters from place to place. In 1803, a Runner line was established from Madras to Bombay via Bangalore. It was first used by the government and was later opened to the public in 1844.
