what is it?

The Bombardier Innovia APM 100 C801 (APM 100, originally known as ECX-100) was the first generation of an automated people mover (APM) train built by Adtranz (later acquired by Bombardier Transportation and subsequently by Alstom) for use on the Bukit Panjang LRT (BPLRT), Singapore. From August 2024, the APM 300R C801B vehicles began replacing all C801 vehicles, which was fully completed in September 2025.
