history
On March 17, 1924, the private tram company Toyohashi Denki Kidō ( 豊 橋 電 気 軌道 ) was founded, the first section of the Toyohashi tram went into operation on July 14, 1925. With the takeover of the bus company Toyohashi Junkan Jidōsha ( 豊 橋 循環 自動 車 ) in 1935, the expansion into bus transport began. In September 1939, the Nagoya Tetsudō railway company acquired both the Toyohashi Denki Kidō and the Atsumi Dentetsu ( 渥 美 電 鉄 ), which operated the Atsumi line . Both companies now belonged to the Meitetsu Group . On September 1, 1949, the merger with the bus company Toyohashi Noriai Jidōsha ( 豊 橋 乗 合 自動 車 ) took place, which was associated with a name change of the company in Toyohashi Kōtsū ( 豊 橋 交通 ).
In the course of a restructuring within the Meitetsu Group, all transport companies belonging to the group in the Toyohashi region were combined to Toyohashi Tetsudō on July 22, 1954. This took over the Taguchi line on October 1, 1956 . The company expanded into other sectors from the 1950s. In 1968 the Taguchi line had to be shut down after the line was badly damaged in a storm. The city bus and regional bus department, which had grown significantly in the meantime, was outsourced on October 1, 2007 for organizational and tax reasons. In 2011, the rechargeable Manaca smart card was introduced , which has been compatible with smart cards from other transport companies since 2013 ( e.g. Suica from JR East ).
