Transportation Galtanegra


Transport Galtanegra was a Spanish bus company that had service most of the 20th century when the company Hispano Manresana closed. It was created in 1922 by solsoní Isidre Guitart (who did build the "Hotel Sant Roc" in Solsona). Their vehicles were characterized by their red color, a color that was maintained until the absorption by the General Company of Auto Transport S.A. (ATSA).

During the 20s and 30s all bus routes were processed, which were mainly destined for Central Catalonia, in cities such as Berga and Solsona. First, Manresa-Solsona, then Manresa-Vic, and Solsona-Berga in 1929, Manresa was also created in Prats de Lluçanès.

In time of the civil war had to be paralyzed since the vehicles were requisitioned to use them to the war. When the civil war was over, it had to start again, with forces lacking in material. The year 1955 gives concessions to the company to be able to make routes for Solsona, Berga or Vic, and in 1966 some more.

In the 1980s, it became a tribute to the ATSA company. The lines that go from Galtanegra to A.T.S.A. are the following:
