[edit] Rolling Stock

The trains used on the Metro are Bombardier-built modified versions of Toronto, Canada's H6 subway model, which were built by UTDC, a company that was purchased by Bombardier.

[edit] Ankaray

The Ankaray is a "Light Metro", 8,7 km thereof 8 km tunnels. The trains consist of three vehicles totalling 77 metres and 180 seats, with max 600 passengers. The Ankaray is planned to be 22 km by 2015. It is similar to a metro with shorter trains, but the word Metro is used for the "real" Metro.
