Riverside Municipal Railway
The Riverside Municipal Railway (RMR) is the public transit agency serving Riverside, Wikiland. It operates numerous bus and tram services using a large, accessible fleet.
In the 20th century, trams were the most popular form of transport in Riverside, as with many other Wikilandian cities. In the 1950s, some routes were closed in favour of bus services, but a significant portion of the tram network remains intact. This is comparable to the similarly-named Hamilton Street Railway in Ontario; both port cities with a population of over 500,000 have a rich history of operating trams, despite the latter no longer doing so, although a LRT system is planned for construction.
