The Societe de transport de Montreal (STM) last week received the first of 17 new AZUR trains intended for the Green Line, which will be put into service within a few days. 

The remaining 16 trains will be delivered by 2021 at a rate of one train per month, STM officials said in a press release.

The new trains — built by a Bombardier Transportation-Alstom consortium — will be added to the 54 already operating on the Orange and Green lines. Those trains were put into service between 2016 and 2019.
