Mistlân Transportation Authority

The Mistlân Transportation Authority, or MTA, is a Dogger local-governmental agency responsible for managing transportation services in and around the city of Mistlân, Zuidvis. It operates a system of bus routes as well as a semi-subterranean light rail network. The entire network reaches in through the city center and connects it to places like Mistlân International, Kingston, Caldwell, and Egelston.

Mistlân Metro
By far the most popular MTA service is Mistlân Metro. Unlike other Doggerland metro networks such as those of Hoovsted and Nandels Port, the Mistlân Metro uses light-rail trams that operate both above-ground and underground. The metro was first established in 1979 as a simple light-rail network. It consisted of trams running on simple rail lines built into streets with overhead wires. But, as Mistlân's city center grew, it was clear that the MTA may have to start operating some central-services underground; similar to that of San Francisco's Muni Metro. In 1986, work began on the project by modifying tracks and digging new tunnels near Navigation, all the way out to Royalston and Whitehall with an above-ground section on Whitehall bridge. Starting in 1987, the trams were retrofitted to be new light-rail units for the services. In early 1988, the new system was ready for business. Aside from some route expansions and modernized upgrades, the 5-line Mistlân Metro has stayed true to its beginning.

The Mistlân Metro is still the most popular way to get around the city. It's clean, fast, and efficient. The city has invested a good bit of its funding into the service in order to make it good enough that citizens would enjoy using it. The Mistlân Metro has become somewhat of a city icon, in itself.

Rolling Stock
Mistlân Metro used Gothenberg-Style M28 trams in their normal state from 1979-1987. When the first metro upgrade project was started, work began to retrofit the M28 trams for partially underground service. The metal sheet-carpets were raised, doors re-fitted, and wheels spaced out more, among other changes. These light-rail units reliably served Mistlân for 32 years. In 2010, the Mistlân Transportation Authority realized that the M28s were getting older. They decided to place an order with a popular Spanish rial manufacturer, CAF. They ordered Luxembourg-Style CAF Urbos light rail units. These sleek and modern trains were already capable of serving both on-the-street and underground. So, little-to-no retrofitting was needed. The first delivery of these units was in early 2018, finishing with a complete replacement of the M28s in late 2019. The CAF Urbos units are in perfect service to this day.
