Hoovsted Snellvervoer

The Hoovsted Snellvervoer or Hoovsted Express Transport is a Dogger metro-tram network in Hoovsted, Steibo. It is composed of above-ground electric trams. The network crosses the busy streets and canals of Hoovsted, making it to places such as Janszoon Airport, Baaizijde Natuurpark, and Zilverwoud.

History
The city of Hoovsted once had a small streetcar network in the 1910s. However, the streetcar soon faded out of popular use in the 1920s and the network was then closed. Hoovsted had never been a city so fond of cars, as it was filled with canals. But, boats were impractical for efficient mass transport. Hoovsted city leadership devised a plan in 1972. They would refurbish and expand the tram network with a modern touch. In 1975, the Hoovsted Snellvervoer officially opened for public use. Although its popularity started off slow, it became a big hit in the early 1980s. The system would go under multiple expansions throughout the years, bringing it to its current state in 2014.

Rolling Stock
Currently, the Hoovsted Snellvervoer uses a fleet composed entirely of Bombardier Flexity Outlook 4000 light-rail trams. These trams were delivered to Hoovsted starting in late 2010. The trams were finished being rolled out by mid-2012. The trams are made to operate entirely overground, unlike similar systems in Mistlân and Nandels Port. The system once used a fleet of old 1960s PCC trams, imported from Belgium. These trams were used from the system's founding in 1975 up till 2012. Some do still operate on special heritage routes on select holidays.
