William “Bill” Smeal (1877-1972), a native of West Middlesex, opened a charter taxi/limo service in Mahoningtown in late 1919. The business became known as the Mahoning Auto Company and established a regular bus route between New Castle and Bessemer in April 1922. It was one of the first companies to offer a regular bus route in New Castle and a few years later a charter bus service was established as well. The company maintained a bus garage at #201 S. Ashland Avenue and in 1933 opened a bus depot at #204 W. Washington Street. (Apr 1922) |
