Hovsborg is the capital of Vermrike. It is the largest city on the Vermrish peninsula. It is situated along the Silver River's estuary into the ocean on the east coast of Vermrike, with a population of approximately 900,000 in the city proper and about 2 million inhabitants in the metropolitan area.
Transportation
Rail
The Hovsborg Metro (Vermrish: Hovsborgs U-bana) is the city's main rapid transit system. The first line opened in 1928, and today the system has 140 stations in use,[1] of which 68 are underground and 72 above ground. There are four coloured lines, as shown on the tube maps, which form eight numbered routes with different termini. Routes numbered 17, 18 and 19 (green line), 13 and 14 (red line) and 10 and 11 (blue line) all go through the centre of the city, resulting in a very centralized system. All four lines interchange at The Hovsborg Central Station. Apart from this, there are three other interchange between lines, at Radioplan, Vindögeplatsen and Gunneby stations.
The Namo Bay Tunnel, the longest tunnel in Namo, carries Line 8 trains that travel across Namo Bay.

Bridges and tunnels
There are multiple bridges and tunnels spanning Namo Bay, Anhai River, and Hongmu River. Millennium Bridge, the most iconic of Namo's bridges, begins in Linju and passes through Namo International Airport before stretching across Namo Bay and ending at District 18 on the western side of the bay. With a total length of 23.4 kilometers, it is the longest bridge in Capital District and one of the longest bridges over water in Namor. Prior to Millennium's Bridge's opening in 2001, all vehicles had to travel from one side of the bay to the other through Waterfront Avenue. The bridge helped relieve traffic in Waterfront Avenue and reduce travel time for drivers.
Other bridges in Capital District include Anhai Bridge between Districts 10 and 11, Ganji Bridge between Districts 1 and 2, and the Daiji Sang Memorial Bridge which crosses the Anhai River in Jungchang.
There are three undersea tunnels in Capital District — Namo Bay Tunnel, which only carries trains from the Capital District Metro, the Anhai River Tunnel between Districts 5 and 6, and the Hongmu River Tunnel which carries NE-51 between Capital District and Southern Namor.
Ferries
Silverlinjen (The Silver Line) is a ferry line trafficking the Silver River since the 1980s. It connects both sides of the river on a zig-zag pattern[3] between the mainland and Bonnaholmen on the part between the Kungsbron and Jálesbergsbron bridges. The ferry is free of charge and carries mainly tourists who want to see the city from the river.
