Flexity Freedom

Common card · No. 497107

The Flexity Freedom is a family of low-floor, articulated light rail vehicles developed by Bombardier Transportation, and Alstom, for the North American market. It is marketed as part of the Flexity family, which includes other models of trams (streetcars) and light metro vehicles. They are produced in facilities in Thunder Bay and Kingston, Ontario. First introduced in 2011, the Flexity Freedom is used on the Ion rapid transit in Waterloo Region, Ontario; on the Valley Line in Edmonton, Alberta; and on Line 5 Eglinton in Toronto, Ontario. Being entirely low-floor, these vehicles directly compete with the Flexity Swift, Citadis, Siemens S70, Urbos, Kinki Sharyo, and Hyundai Rotem light rail vehicles. While they are designed for light rail rather than streetcar applications, they also compete against low-floor streetcars from Škoda/Inekon and Brookville Equipment Corporation, among others.
