"MUNI awarded a contract to BREDA for the design and manufacture of 30 light rail transit vehicles in 1991. Today our entire 151-car fleet is comprised of BREDA vehicles. In addition to the original procurement, options were exercised and sole source procurements were conducted in order to replace the Boeing fleet with cars that met the unique technical requirements of our operating environment.
"The BREDA light rail cars have met our reliability goals, and BREDA personnel have consistently provided excellent support for our project over the course of the past 12 years."
