The New Liverpool Rapid Transit Authority or NLRTA for short is a system of trams, trains, and buses, located in New Liverpool, Slokais Islands. The authority is best known for its rapid transit service under the name "NL Metrorail". Although much of the network serves New Liverpool, the authority operates rail lines into the San Fernando and South San Fernando Provinces. NLRTA was created in 1974 as a public agency of the Ministry of Transportation. The NLRTA initially operated lines on existing or disused rights of way created by Slokasian Rail, although, through the 1980s and 90s, multiple new lines were built. In recent years projects have included the Southland Tram Line and the Cross-River Line, and new in-fil stations. In 2023, the system handled over 1.5 billion trips and a daily ridership of 3.7 million people.
