Advanced Rapid Transit

Transportation Systems

Vancouver, Canada

Bombardier Transportation is supplying 48 additional Advanced Rapid Transit (ART) MK II vehicles, bringing the total number of vehicles in the SkyTrain fleet to 258.

The new MK II vehicles will meet the needs of the rapidly growing ridership on the Vancouver SkyTrain rail transit network. Featuring a dynamic exterior design, the BOMBARDIER* SEKURFLO* onboard security surveillance system, and a new interior seating layout, the vehicles can operate on both the existing Expo and Millennium Lines.

Today, the mixed fleet of 150 ART MK I and 60 ART MK II vehicles serve 33 stations on the longest driverless rapid transit system in the world.

Since opening to revenue service in 1986 for Expo ‘86, SkyTrain has carried over one billion passengers.
