History
The following is a chronological list of events related to road or rail transport in and around Brașov, as well as relevant historical information.[2]
The administrative divisions and predominant/official languages consistently change over time; in Saxon cities and villages like Brașov, German was predominant until the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Romanian and for a few decades, Hungarian, increase in use, ultimately attaining a combined 95.2% in 2011. Except for 'Brașov', the names used are intended to be the ones most common in their day.
Beginnings
- 1830–1840: The first intra-city means of public transportation appear in Brașov – hackneys and carriages with one or two horses, built by Saxon craftsmen. They regularly waited for customers in Marktplatz and could carry 1-4 persons with luggage, towards the other three areas of town: Blumenau [ro], Altstadt [ro], Șchei.
- 1846–1866: Drumul Brașovului (the Brașov Road), between Câmpina, Wallachia, and Brașov, is built. Today, it is part of DN1.
- 1848: First intercity public transport across the Carpathian Mountains is made available by the local Franz Körner, who sets up a fast carriage route between Brașov and Bucharest.
- 1856–1859: Körner opens another line, Brașov–Bucharest–Giurgiu, which operated weekly and could carry 8-10 people with luggage.
- 1864–1867: The road from Brașov to Reps is built.
- 1890–1895: The first lines using the famous Landau carriages open up. They left daily for Siebendörfer, Zuisendorf and Törzburg for the price of 5 Austro-Hungarian florins.
- 1892–1900: On 7 March 1892, the first suburban railway of current-day Romania was opened between Bartolomeu [ro] and Siebendörfer. 17 km long, it connected the city to the seven villages that now constitute the town of Săcele. Built with private funds between 1890 and 1892, by the Brașov–Háromszék Neighboring Railways Society,[3] it functioned until 1960, when, following road infrastructure modernization, it was discontinued.
- 1900–1910: The city's population grew from 36,646 to 41,054 people.
- 1900–1920: Popularity of horse-drawn carriages drops dramatically as the suburban train's usage increases. The remaining 115 cabmen could still be found in Marktplatz and at Hotel Krone. Some of the regular routes they would take had fixed prices, while other were settled with the customer.
The first bus
- 1925: The first four buses to be used for urban transport are introduced in the city and leased to the Decei-Blaga company, based in Cluj.[4] They ran on two lines, between Piața Unirii and the Brașov railway station (14 stops), and Piața Unirii and the Bartolomeu railway station (9 stops).
- 1926–1927: The city hall prepares the first Regulations for the circulation of buses in town. In 1926, there were nine bus owners, that obtained the lease for public transport. The Municipal Council limited the number of buses to 30, to avoid traffic accidents. The price of a ticket was 5 lei. Routes were established to Băile Zizin and Băile Vâlcele (three times a week, 20-40 lei/person), leaving from Piața Sfatului. Also, two trucks carried people and cargo to and from Bran (25 lei/person, departure times at 15:30 and 6:30 respectively). The carriage drivers from the 'Fulgerul' ('The Lightning') syndicate protested against the expansion of public transportation and asked that the number of buses be limited at 16.
- 1928: The prefecture and city police regulate bus circulation furthermore.
- 1929: Following complaints from nearby residents, the stop for inter-city connections in Piața Sfatului was moved on the corner of Ferdinand Boulevard and Gate Street (next to the current-day rectorship of the Transylvania University;[5] it currently represents the Livada Poștei stop).
- 1930: The Brașov city hall wants to set up its own bus exploitation board and informs the owners that their lease ends on July 1. The Carriage Driver Society of Brașov, in an open letter to the local press, explain that after 100 years of service, the drivers' businesses have gone under, because of the suburban train, the 100 taxis and over 40 buses. They ask the city hall to be awarded the lease over the buses of Aurel Lazăr Decei (which was about to expire) and limit the number of carriages from 100 to 60.
- 1931: The City Hall abandons the idea of exploiting the buses by itself, because of the high cost of setting up the board, 25 million lei.
- 1938: In association with the city hall, Regia Întreprinderilor din Municipiul Brașov (the Brașov Enterprise[6] Board, "R.I.M.B." for short) is established. Within it, there was a public transportation section, which was equipped with 35 buses serving three routes, totaling 17 km (11 mi): Prund-Astra [ro],[7] Prund-Railway Station and Prund–Bartolomeu. They would transport 5.4 million passenger per year.
- 1941: Projects were elaborated for the electrification of the Bartolomeu–Satulung suburban railway and for the Center [ro]–Astra bus line.
- 1944: At this point, R.I.M.B. had 12 buses and transported 3.2 million people.
- 1948: The first tracked ZIS-151 truck was introduced on the Prund–Poiana Brașov route (the 'old road'). Overall, the same number of buses, 12, transported 2.6 million people.
- 1951: The bus fleet has grown to 33, used on four routes to transport a total of 11 million persons.
- 1956: On the Prund–Poiana Brașov route, two trucks were now used (there would be three in 1962, and five in 1963). A total of 51 buses were used on 10 routes summing 56 km (35 mi). Alongside them, there were 10 taxis and 64 cargo trucks.
The first trolleybus
- 1959: The board operated 85 buses on 17 routes summing 112 km (70 mi), and 27 taxis. On May 1, Brașov became the second city in the country, after Bucharest, to operate a trolleybus line. Under the surveillance of Tulcea-born Petru Alexe Bâlbu, the line used a small, 28-seat, slightly dangerous MDT trolley built in the capital (to which another 17 would soon be added). It initially operated on 8 km from Șchei to the MÁV Railway Station,[8] but was later extended to the Triaj area.[9] The electrical rectifying station was built on 3-5 Verii Street.
- 1960: The Prund–Tractorul [ro][10] line is opened.
- 1961: Întreprinderea de Transporturi (Transportation Enterprise) is established by reorganizing Întreprinderea de Gospodărie Orășenească (City Management Enterprise). There were 163 buses (83 for intra-city usage, and 80 for external connections), 47 TV2E trolleys, 45 taxis, and 47 cargo trucks.
- 1963: The current Livada Poștei-Poiana Brașov road is opened, and several Škoda 706 RTO are added to the fleet.
- 1967: The trolleybus base in Sânpetru, capable of maintaining up to 120 trolleys, is opened.
- 1970–1975: Several distinctions are awarded by the state for Brașov's public transport system in this period (including 2nd place country-wide in 1972 and 1975). On January 1, 1975, the Transportation Enterprise transfers the 120 buses serving inter-city connections (5 towns and 12 communes) to the newly reorganized "Întreprinderea de Transporturi Auto" (serving the entire Brașov County).
- 1978: The Enterprise had a fleet of 600 vehicles serving 50 routes, summing 350 km (220 mi) and transporting 141 million passengers that year. It employed 2,500 people and achieved income worth 117 million lei. The following years, high-capacity buses would be added, as well as Škoda SM-11, Ikarus, and IK4, used on tourist routes.
- 1979: Construction begins on the new bus and taximeter base capable of maintaining 400 vehicles, along with the Enterprise's new headquarters. Also, this year marks the introduction of autotaxation[11] on all urban routes, as well as a major reorganization and renaming to Întreprinderea Județeană de Transport Local Brașov (Brașov County Enterprise for Local Transportation).
- 1980:
- On January 1, the fleet (county-wide) was composed of: 317 buses (total capacity 36,584), 190 trolleybuses (total capacity 17,189), 20 taximeters, 43 vans, 136 tipper trucks (total cargo capacity 2,538 tons) and 31 auxiliary vehicles.
- There were 2,575 employees and 489 million lei in funds.
- This year alone, 154.3 million (91 by bus and 63.3 by trolley) people and 4 million tons of cargo were transported.
- 136.1 km (84.6 mi) of overhead wires existed; trolleybus routes summed to 83.8 km (52.1 mi), and bus routes to 275 km (171 mi) in Brașov and 45 km (28 mi) in Făgăraș.
The first tramway
- 1980–1987: Several objectives were achieved:
- The bus and taximeter maintenance base (started in 1979) is finished in 1983. The headquarters is moved to the current address on Hărmanului Street nr. 49, from the previous 13 Decembrie Street nt. 17;
- The maintenance spot on Cristianului Road opens in 1984;
- Expansion of the trolleybus network on Griviței Boulevard (2.2 km),[12] in the newly constructed Valea Cetății neighbourhood (5.4 km, opened July 15h, 1986) and near Casa Armatei[13] (200 m, opened October 1986);
- Opening on August 22, 1987, of stage I of the first tramway line (named 101), between Steagul Roșu [ro]–Rulmentul, on 13.1 km.

- The fleet served one tram and 19 trolley lines, and 16 bus routes in Brașov and 8 in Făgăraș.
- The trolleybus overhead line network summed 77.5 km, trolley routes 229.6 km, and the buses, 340.5 km (of which 247.1 km in Brașov and 93.4 km in Făgăraș).
- There were 2,390 employees, funds of 976 million lei, and revenues of 292 million lei.
