TransLink revealed a mockup of the redesigned interior for the next generation of SkyTrain cars, the Bombardier Mark V.Last year, Bombardier Transportation signed a $721 million deal with TransLink to provide 205 new rail cars for the Vancouver SkyTrain network, with options to include up to an additional 400 rail cars. The mockup, which includes leaning pads, bike storage tools and new accessibility features, is being used to help TransLink make final decisions on the design. The Mark V will look similar to the Mark III rail cars, with a few changes. Translink spokesperson Tina Lovgreen shows off the new interior features of the Mark V, including passenger display screens. The new rail cars will feature more flex space with leaning pads and bike storage tools.
