STferro is the publicly-owned [en:rail transport|railway] of Sober Thought, its only shareholders being the federal and most provincial governments.
Anglophones were prone to construe the name as "Sober Thought ferrous transit," not far off the mark, and francophones "Société des transports ferroviaires," also not far off the mark. And for the domestic cows freed in train accidents, it would be "Sober Thought ferral."
Main routes
The service among major cities on the mainland is very good, and connections among island cities is good, but the connections between these two networks are poor. Such as they are, they must be aided by STaqua ferries or CommunitAir planes.
