Historical Context
The Trenton Street Railway Company was incorporated in 1898 as consolidation of the following companies:
- Trenton Passenger Railway - incorporated 1891 as consolidation of Trenton Horse Railroad Company (incorporated 1889)
- City Railway Company (incorporated 1889)
- Hamilton Township Street Railway Company
- South Clinton Avenue & Broad Street Railway Company
- Ewing Passenger Railway
- Mulberry Street Passenger Railway
- Pennington Avenue Passenger Railway
Subsidiaries serving suburbs outside Trenton included Mercer County Traction Company (formed 1899), Trenton Pennington & Hopewell Street Railway (acquired 1903), Trenton Hamilton & Ewing Traction Company (formed 1905). In 1910, the Trenton Street Railway and the three above suburban companies were leased to the Trenton & Mercer County Traction Company.
In 1929, the Trenton Street Railway was succeeded by Trenton Transit Company, and in 1959 by Capital Transit Company. Streetcars were discontinued in 1934. In 1969, Capital Transit Company was acquired by the publicly owned Mercer County Metro, which continued to operate buses until 1984, when New Jersey Transit assumed operations.
