MalTra is a government-owned company in Malgrave responsible for commercial rail services and the construction and maintenance of rail infrastructure. It was established during the foundation of the country in order to provide low cost transportation within the newly established country.

After the re-establishment of Malgrave in 1933/4 the company began to rapidly expand and subsequent the start of the insurgency only hastened this growth as the rail network became increasingly tasked with carrying troops and equipment across the country. Since then MalTra has become one of the most widely used state-controlled services in the country with rail transport still ranked as the most popular method of commuting.

Controversy

When Prime Minister Alice Smith changed the name of the then Malgravean State Owned Rail Transportation, Infrastructure and Research Corporation (MSORTIRC) to MalTra it caused small protests to break out in the capital city which quickly snowballed into larger demonstrations when government plans to rename other state-owned enterprises became known to the public.

MalTra has been accused of using its influence to maintain the prevalence of toll roads across the country and maintain the current levels of road tax, a constant complaint for Malgravean Automotive Industries and vehicular enthusiast organisations.
