The history of Triboro Coach Corporation ultimately goes back to a bus operation begun by by Salvatore Fornatora in 1919. He received a permit from the New York City Department of Plant & Structures to operate a bus line from the 103rd St. terminal in Corona in the New York City borough of Queens (to which the elevateds had just been extended) to a terminal in central Flushing. When the elevated was itself extended to Flushing, Fornatora relocated his operations to Astoria. By the late 1920s his company, then known as the Woodside-Astoria Transportation Company, was operating a number of routes in the Queens neighborhoods of Astoria, Woodside, and Maspeth. On April 10, 1931 the company was reorganized under the name Triboro Coach Corporation. It took over bus routes operated by a number of

  • The history of Triboro Coach Corporation ultimately goes back to a bus operation begun by by Salvatore Fornatora in 1919. He received a permit from the New York City Department of Plant & Structures to operate a bus line from the 103rd St. terminal in Corona in the New York City borough of Queens (to which the elevateds had just been extended) to a terminal in central Flushing. When the elevated was itself extended to Flushing, Fornatora relocated his operations to Astoria. By the late 1920s his company, then known as the Woodside-Astoria Transportation Company, was operating a number of routes in the Queens neighborhoods of Astoria, Woodside, and Maspeth. On April 10, 1931 the company was reorganized under the name Triboro Coach Corporation. It took over bus routes operated by a number of other companies (Municipal Motorbus Company, operator of route Q33, Affiliated Bus Transit Corporation, which operated the Q38, National City Bus Lines, originally known as Greater Cities Bus Lines, which operated the Q39, and Kings Coach, operator of the Q29 and Q106) and provided bus service in the Jackson Heights, Elmhurst, Astoria, Corona, and Forest Hills neighborhoods of Queens. In addition, some routes such as the Q53, the Q39 and the Q106 served areas such as Ridgewood, Jamaica and Rockaway Park. It was the first franchise company in Queens County, receiving franchises from the Board of Estimate on Sept. 24, 1936 for nine routes. In 1946 the company found itself in financial difficulties, and Fornatora sold the company to the owners of Green Bus Lines, John Succa and William Cooper. The company's bus operations were taken over by the MTA on February 20, 2006 and are now part of the MTA Bus Company under the LaGuardia Depot division.
