Agence métropolitaine de transport (AMT), the agency that co-ordinates commuter train services for the greater Montreal region, has rejected Bombardier’s proposal in the tender for new trains. The tender was launched last December to build new trains for the Candiac, Vaudreuil–Dorion and Saint-Jérôme commuter lines. The contract had an estimated value of $103 million.
Bombardier was the only applicant. Its proposal was rejected because rather than meet the specifications of the AMT, it submitted plans based on the trains that it is already building for Toronto’s Metrolinx system.
The AMT is now preparing a new call for tenders with the aim of attracting proposals from foreign companies.
