FOTO | Cantinele STB din Bucureștiul interbelic, parte dintr-un revoluționar pachet salarial al vremurilor de atunci. Ce beneficii aveau vatmanii, taxatorii și ceilalți angajați • Vechiul București

In interwar Bucharest, trams represented more than just vehicles; they were supported by a workforce including drivers and maintenance staff. The Bucharest Tramway Company (STB) implemented social measures like employee canteens, where workers paid only a portion of meal costs, subsidized by the company. This modern system allowed employees to purchase meal tickets in advance, facilitating quick access to food during work hours. Key canteens were located near major workshops and depots, ensuring workers could eat without leaving their jobs. The STB's canteen story is part of a broader narrative about public transport in Bucharest, showcased in an exhibition on Trapezului Street.
