Bombardier INNOVIA APM 256 (Sometimes referred as the Taipei Metro CITYFLO650 by its control system, and internally code-named C370 by the running company of Taipei Metro, Taipei Rapid Transit Corporation) is the second generation of automated guideway transit rolling stock to be used on Taipei Metro Line 1 (Brown Line) of the Taipei Metro. They are distinguished from their predecessors, Matra VAL256, by theri circular front headlights and a grey livery, with a green stripe above. Also, instead of yellow forward-facing seats, the train offers blue seats that face inward.
A total of 101 2-car train sets were purchased and produced, for a total of 202 cars.[1] The sets are numbered from 101 to 201, with both cars in a set receiving the same numbers. They were originally numbered from 52 to 152, continuing the sequence from the first-generation Matra-made sets, but in order to distinguish between the newer and older trains, they were renumbered from 101 onwards.
