 Consequently, until the start of the First World War, inhabitants of Torac were able to travel to Timişoara and Nagy Becskerek by boat which had a daily schedule between the two major cities of the region.A passenger boat service to Nagy Becskerek (after World War II renamed Zrenjanin) continued until the mid-1960s when a bus service became the preferred mode of transportation by Toraceans to "the city" [la oraş].In 1912, the current stone and concrete bridge was built over the Bega canal, located between Toracul Mare and Toracul Mic.
