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.

History

After the re-establishment of Malgrave in 1933 following the Great Exodus the company began to rapidly expand to connect the new regions of their homeland, the start of the civil war temporarily halted the expansion of the transportation network, however, within a few years the growth of the rail network became tasked with carrying troops and equipment across the country to support the war efforts.

Since the end of the civil war and the subsequent re-entrance of Malgrave into the international community, MalTra has started a series of infrastructure projects designed to integrate its railway networks with regional neighbours, engaged in cooperative construction projects in Altea and expanded operations overseas in the Dornalian Republic.

Today MalTra is one of the most commonly used state-owned service in the country, and while its overseas operations make up a majority of the companies profits it is still a major employer in the country.

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.
