The SC Societatea de Transport Public Timișoara SA , abbreviated to STPT (until 2017 Regia Autonomă de Transport Timișoara , RATT ), is the transport company of the Romanian city ​​of Timișoara and covers all urban public transport . The stock corporation is subordinate to a total of 38 lines , including two canceled line signals and a vaporetto line.

90 million passengers are carried annually, 52 million of them by tram . The STPT goes back to the Temesvár Road and Railway Company founded on November 3, 1867 , which once operated the horse-drawn tram that opened in 1869 . In addition to the ten districts of Timișoara, the STPT also serves the surrounding villages of Albina , Becicherecu Mic , Dumbrăvița , Ghiroda , Giarmata-Vii , Moșnița Nouă , Moșnița Veche and Urseni, as well as the Timișoara airport, which is outside the city limits . In previous years, the company's buses also drove the municipalities of Chișoda , Dudeștii Noi , Giroc , Săcălaz , Sânmihaiu German , Sânmihaiu Român and Utvin ; these connections have now been taken over by other companies.

Society as a vehicle manufacturer

The STPT tram and trolleybus network

As a special feature, from 1914 onwards, the transport company itself repeatedly manufactured tram vehicles, but only in small numbers and mainly for their own needs. For example, the first trains of the widespread Timiș 2 type were produced by the then ITT or ITCVTT (prototype 1970, series production from 1972). However, further production, which began in 1975 for other Romanian tram operators, was finally transferred to the Electrometal Timișoara company in 1977 .

Furthermore, in 1936 the company produced the short two-axle diesel multiple unit AM1 , which was used from 1937 in tourist traffic on the narrow-gauge forest railway Zăvoi – Poiana Mărului. Near the end of the forest railway, the then TCT maintained the two mountain huts Bela Vista and Brădisorul for the recreation of its employees . In 1938 an associated sidecar was also produced.

Line numbers

Over the years, the company tried to assign clearly distinguishable line names to its means of transport - although the two horse-drawn tram lines that existed until 1899 and all bus lines before 1942 had no line numbers at all. It was not until October 1, 1962 that the company finally introduced systematic labeling of the three modes of transport, in which the individual line signals were assigned up to three times, based on the Soviet or Budapest model:

Number 1: Awarded three times from 1962 to 1971
Number 2: Awarded three times from 1962 to 1971
Number 3: Awarded three times from 1962 to 1964, awarded
twice from 1964 to 1968 (tram and bus),
awarded three times from 1968 to 1971
Number 4: Awarded three times from 1962 to 1971
Number 5: awarded twice from 1962 to 1971 (tram and bus)
Number 6: awarded twice from 1962 to 1971 (tram and bus)
Number 7: awarded twice from 1962 to 1971 (tram and bus)

Only with the current system that came into force in spring 1971 (tram lines 1–10, trolleybus lines 11–20 and bus lines from 21 and up) did double numbering become a thing of the past. However, as an exception to this rule, there was both a tram line 11 and a trolleybus line 11 between 2000 and 2009.

Shipping

1961

Already on 15 July 1961, the then-ICOT took together with the Societatea Timisoreana de NAVIGATIE the passenger shipping on the Bega on. The two motorboats Rîndunica (Romanian for swallow ) and Pionier (based on the names of the members of the mass socialist organization Organizaţia Pionierilor, founded in 1949 ) served the following eight berths daily between 10:00 and 20:00 :

  • 1: Podul Decebal (Calea Dorobanților)
  • 2: Podul Dacilor (Piața Badea Cârțan)
  • 3: Podul Traian (Baia Neptune)
  • 4: Pasarela Strada Michelangelo
  • 5: Podul Mihai Viteazul (Terasa CFR)
  • 6: Podul de Fier (Fabrica de Pălării)
  • 7: Podul Eroilor (Strada Văcărescu)
  • 8: Fabrica Solventul

In terms of tariff, the connection was divided into two sections, each costing 0.50 lei:

  • I: Podul Decebal - Pasarela Strada Michelangelo
  • II: Pasarela Strada Michelangelo - Fabrica Solventul
The Pelican motorboat converted into a floating restaurant , 2006

From May 27, 1983, the replacement motorboat Pelican , which was procured in February 1983, shuttled between the Podul Mihai Viteazul and the Sânmihaiu Român lock . This operation ended in the summer of 1992.

2016

The Vaporetto Burebista at the terminus Mihai Viteazul, October 2018

The seven liner ships Burebista-TM , Decebal-TM , Ferdinand I-TM - are still in the project phase as Economu-TM for the 6.7 km long second waterbus line, which opened on May 28, 2016 - Romanian linia de hidrobuz - on the Bega designated, Glad-TM, Mercy-TM , Savoya-TM, and Traian-TM are available. The motor boats built by the Spat Yard SRL shipyard in Galați are 12.7 meters long, 4.9 meters wide, can carry 50 passengers and cost 275,000 euros each. Similar to the Venetian model, they are marketed as vaporetto , the only line V1 serves the total of nine landing stages as follows:

However, operations had to be temporarily suspended after the three-month trial period ended because it turned out to be illegal. The reason for this was the lack of approval from the national naval authority, Autoritatea Navală Română , or ANR, which is responsible for all waterways in the country. During this time, a total of 30,000 passengers used the ships. Regular operations could not begin until October 4, 2018.
