Hovertrain

Hovertrains, also known as mag-levs, or repulsor trains, were vehicles used in mass-transit that operated by hovering. Such trains operated on planets such as Coruscant and Ryloth. During the insurgency on Ryloth, Cham Syndulla and his resistance fighters attacked a reservoir that swept away an Imperial hovertrain. The attack was later condemned by Governor Pommel on the TriNebulon News.

In the New Republic Era, a hovertrain was also used by the Pyke Syndicate as a way of transporting spice from the spice mines of Kessel across the deserts of Tatooine until it eventually got hijacked by a clan of Tusken Raiders with the help of Boba Fett.
