Sticktropolis Transit Authority

Synopsis
the Sticktropolis Transit Authority is a Government-Owned Entity which owns and operates "EL" Lines, Subway Lines, and Bus Routes in and around the City of Sticktropolis, Capital of The Sticklands.

The Capital Traction Co.
When The Stickburg Stickville & Sticktropolis Railway Reached Sticktropolis in 1915, the City immediately realized the need for intercity Transportation. A privately owned Company known as "The Capital Traction Co." began operations in The City soon after the SS&S's arrival. The company built it's own streetcar, a 4 wheeled open air car, and began service on a 1.3 mile long line running from the SS&S's Depot to the Capital Building. The C.T.Co. was a very profitable entity, and the SS&S offered to buy the company out. when the owners refused, the SS&S Chartered it's own company, the U.T.&.O (Union Terminal & Outskirts RR) which ran from the railroad's union terminal, where the C.T.Co terminated, and ran west into the growing suburbs of the city. soon, the UT&O Expanded into the city itself VIA Underground Tunnel, and began a freight service between the Terminal and The City's Docks. This plunged the C.T.Co. into receivership, and the S.S.&.S. Bought out the C.T.Co. in 1921. To prevent the S.S.&.S. from holding a monopoly on Transportation, the Sticklands Government bought out the original 1.3 Mile line and Reorganized the C.T.Co. as the Sticktropolis Transit Authority.

Sticktropolis Transit Authority
The Newly organized Sticktropolis Transit Authority continued to operate with solely the C.T.Co's Line for almost 7 months. However, the City grew at an alarming rate, and it was clear that more than a single trolley line would be needed.
