Bombardier Transportation signed a partnership agreement
with the city of Vancouver to provide up to two Bombardier Flexity Outlook
streetcars for Vancouver’s downtown streetcar project during the 2010 Olympic
and Paralympic Winter Games.
Additionally, Bombardier will also provide operations and
maintenance services for the two vehicles during a 60-day period of passenger
service.
The Flexity Outlook streetcars will be on loan from the
Brussels Transport Company (STIB), which operates a 68-vehicle fleet in Brussels, Belgium,
previously supplied by Bombardier Transportation. In January 2008, STIB awarded
Bombardier a contract for 87 additional Flexity vehicles.
