A Bucharest Metro train Movia 346 on M2 Line

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.

Guangzhou Metro, Shanghai Metro, and Shenzhen Metro all use MOVIA 456 trains, while Bucharest Metro use the MOVIA 346. Movia trains are on order for the London Underground (designated S Stock), Toronto Subway (designated Toronto Rocket), and Delhi Metro. Singapore MRT has accepted an order of C951 trains. Hong Kong MTR has accepted an order of C6554-07E trains.^[1]
