Whitfords, Whitfordland

Whitfords is a city in Whitfordland, state of Enchancia. Whitfords is best known for the long tradition of Easter witches in that area, which were carried over from the Swedish rule (Easter witches are now superseded in Enchancian cities formerly part of the Swedish rule).

History
Whitfords was first settled by the Swedish in 1789, and was called "Nårroholm".

In 1917, as part of the federation of Enchancia and the declaration of English as the official language of Enchancia, Nårroholm was renamed Whitfords. As of 1920, Swedish culture and values were still dominant in Whitfordland, but English was already the official language of Whitfordland, replacing Swedish.

In 1935, an annual fancy dress party was started, and is currently held today.

History of public transport in Whitfords
A tram system in Whitfordland under Swedish regime (then called Nårroholm Koloni) opened in 1868. The tram system continues to exist today, although with electric power (since 1902).

Around 1928, bus services were introduced to Whitfords, with route numbers introduced four years later.

In 1977, Afghanistanis arrived in Whitfords, and because the number 39 is cursed or a badge of shame as it is purportedly linked with prostitution in Afghanistan, route 39, running from Whitfords University to Carina District, was renumbered 89. Similarly, route 139 (running from Jenson Circle to Fanning) was renumbered to route 149. Beginning from 1979, and lasting until 2011 (along with '13'), '39' was not used on bus fleet numbers, nor on tram fleet numbers.

A hybrid tram/light rail system was opened in 1996. The single line is called route 10.

Public transport system
The public transport system is compromised of a bus system, a tram system and a hybrid tram/light rail system.

Whitfords has a Volgren factory. The factory was used to build MAN 18.310 diesels between 2008 and 2010 with Volgren CR228L body for Whitfords' public transport company.
