Metro Magazine

Metro Magazine

Metro Magazine (ISSN 1098-0083) is a trade magazine for bus and rail transit and motorcoach operators, published in the United States since 1904, taking its current name in 1975.[1] It is published monthly, except for July and December, by Bobit Business Media.[2]

History

First published in 1904 as Electric Traction Weekly, the magazine became a monthly in 1912 and changed its name to the Electric Traction and Bus Journal in 1932.[1] That name was relatively short-lived, being replaced by Mass Transportation in 1935. Its publisher at that time was Kenfield-Davis Publishing Company.[3] In 1959, new owner Hitchcock Publishing renamed the magazine Modern Passenger Transportation, but in 1961 this was changed to Metropolitan Transportation and in 1965 yet again, to simply Metropolitan.[1] Later the same year, Bobit Publishing (now Bobit Business Media) purchased Metropolitan and in 1975 shortened the name to Metro (or Metro Magazine), which the magazine itself writes as METRO.[1]
