Bombardier, the supplier of the fully automated system, has operated and maintained the Las Vegas Monorail since it opened to passenger service in 2004. The fleet of nine, four-car trains links seven stations along four miles of dual-lane elevated guideway and services the east side of the Las Vegas strip, including the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The order is valued at approximately $58 million.
