Bombardier Movia is a family of metro train built by Bombardier Transportation. The structure and body shell are fully customisable for the needs of each system that orders it. Unlike most traditional metro trains, they usually have full-width gangways between carriages, allowing passengers to walk the entire length of the train. The design was developed by Adtranz which was acquired by Bombardier in 2001.
Guangzhou Metro (Lines 1 and 2), Shanghai Metro (Line 9), and Shenzhen Metro (Line 1) all use Movia 456 trains, while Bucharest Metro (excluding Line M4) use the Movia 346. Movia trains are on order and entering service for the London Underground (designated on Metropolitan, Hammersmith&City and Circle lines and on Victoria line), Toronto Subway (designated Toronto Rocket on Line 1 only), and Delhi Metro (Phase II only) Singapore MRT Downtown line) has accepted an order of 92 C951 trains, one of the largest orders in Singapore.
