STM receives first AZUR train of 17-train order

The Societe de transport de Montreal (STM) last week received the first of 17 new AZUR trains intended for the Green Line, which will be put into service within a few days. 

The remaining 16 trains will be delivered by 2021 at a rate of one train per month, STM officials said in a press release.

The new trains — built by a Bombardier Transportation-Alstom consortium — will be added to the 54 already operating on the Orange and Green lines. Those trains were put into service between 2016 and 2019.
