Metro's next generation of trains will be designed to accommodate all customers - and all kinds of trips. The new trains will improve upon the design of our previous trains and will replace the oldest trains in our current fleet.

Since the original design concept was developed in 2022, we've made changes to incorporate feedback from our customers, helping improve safety, reliability, and the overall customer experience.

Features

Your new ride will feature enhanced security, improved ventilation and airflow, charging ports for electronic devices, energy-efficient heated flooring, and lighter exteriors made of aluminum.
