Light Rail Vehicles - LRT, ICTS, Monorail, and more

The rest of the production MR-73's just make 3 (well, they make all 5, but it's hard to hear). The test ones were retrofitted to see if the concept would work before the MR-73 buildout (Bombardier's first huge rail contract, actually!).

Awesome you got a ride on the AZUR! How many are in service, now?

14. Last time I was in Montreal I saw one but it was not going where I was going so I couldn't take it. There are noticeably more now. They had to fix a thing with the track/car interface in January but it seems to be under control now.

I was also reading that the Montreal trains have a super high mean-time-between-failure, which they say is due to good maintenance. Maybe they do a better job than TTC's State of Good Repair?
