Bombardier Adds Operations to AMT Maintenance Contract
|
Bombardier Transportation has entered into a $331  million (Cdn.), eight-year contract with Montréal’s Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), with a two-year option, that adds operations to its existing maintenance services for the AMT commuter rail fleet.
The new contract covers all six AMT lines and the entire fleet of 264 coaches and 41 locomotives. |
“Agence métropolitaine de transport is happy to continue its partnership with Bombardier,” said Stéphane Lapierre, the agency’s vice president of operations. “We have a longstanding positive relationship that is based on the common objective of bringing state-of-the-art mobility solutions to the greater Montréal area.”
Benoît Brossoit, president, Bombardier Transportation, Americas Region, said, “AMT’s commuter rail service is one of the most important in North America and has been a growing success story for many years, and Bombardier is honored to be a partner in its development.”
AMT is the second largest commuter rail system in Canada and the sixth largest region in terms of traffic in North America, providing more than 19 million rides annually.
