The metro’s new cars February 11, 2009
Better performance, better reliability and more eco-friendly than ever, the new metro cars will take the tracks by storm in fall 2011, before 342 new cars are gradually introduced into service starting in 2013. They will replace first-generation cars acquired in the 1960s, each one having travelled some 3.5 million kilometres, equal to circling the Earth more than 80 times!
Improved design, considerably more space and room to move—the open concept throughout the length of the train allowing passengers to move easily from one car to the next—smoother ride, more comfortable seats, superior lighting and public address systems are some of the main features on the next generation of metro cars.
Because they are more spacious than standard metro cars and they run more often, the new cars will reduce both waiting and travel times. What better way to serve our ever-growing passenger base.
