Bombardier Inc., once a major contender, was eliminated due to past delays on another MTA project. A confidential source confirmed this, attributing the decision to performance issues, which left Kawasaki as a frontrunner.

Why Kawasaki Leads the Competition?

Both Bombardier and Kawasaki have supplied subway cars to the MTA for decades. Kawasaki’s reliability, combined with its innovative technology, positions it as a strong competitor for this lucrative deal.
