Bombardier Transportation Southeast Asia president Jayaram Naidu said: “For the last seven years, the performance of our proven Movia metros has been moving millions of passengers on the Downtown Line, making their daily commute greener, quieter and safer than ever before.

“We are looking to further collaborate with LTA to introduce our globally game-changing metro trains to help enhance the travel experience, reduce energy consumption and improve rail reliability in Singapore.

“With 636 metro cars ordered for this project, this will bring the number of Movia vehicles in Singapore to 912, making it one of Bombardier’s largest metro fleets in the world.”
