The MR-73 (Matériel roulant conçu en 1973) is the second generation of rubber-tired rolling stock used on the Montreal Metro. Manufactured by Bombardier Transportation, they entered service in November 1976.
Since the retirement of the first generation MR-63s, the MR-73 trains are in use on three of Montreal's four Metro lines. Replacement of the trains is planned for 2036, when they will be 60 years old.
