Since the year 1907 a gravel road ran from
Feketitsch over to Sekitsch to our station and also to the Mali Idjosch train
station. Shortly before the World War a rail line was put in place from our
train station up to Senta, which had affected the community between Feketitsch
and Sekitsch. Also an electric streetcar was planned from Feketitsch to Mali
Idjosch train station, however the World War prevented the execution of this
plan. Since the construction of the gravel road all sorts of vehicles have
operated instead of the former Ötvenötös (a bad farm wagon, which drove to the
train for about 55 Kreuzer). Before the war there were "Fiakers" (horse-drawn
cabs) and horse-drawn buses, which the passengers frequently had to push the
latter up Sekitsch Mountain. After the war there were automobiles and buses.
Jakob Gutwein D. had to be described as
especially enterprising by the drivers. He was set up from 1903 to 1932 with
two buses he maintained, to transport passengers from the steam mills, hotel,
brick oven, beach spa owner, and others to the train station during this quarter
of a century when there were all means of traffic from farmers' wagons to auto
taxis which often found themselves in very unfortunate circumstances on the
gravel road in use. Besides that a third bus drove starting in 1935 in the
district villages up to Topola on an extended gravel road. Before the war the
trip to the train station cost 40-60 Heller, 12 Dinar afterwards, 5 Dinar
Today. The trip up to Topola cost 12 Dinar. The international Autobahn
(highway) should be expanded through our village this year, with which we expect
a further increase in traffic. As of January 1st, 1936 there were in
Feketitsch: 800 wagons, 1300 horses, 300 bicycles, and 4 automobiles.
