Adtranz C-100

The C-100 is an automated people mover rolling stock first developed by Adtranz (now owned by Bombardier Transportation). It is the predecessor of the Bombardier CX-100, which is found at many airports today. The newer CX-100 is capable of using most of the existing infrastructure of the C-100, making an easy upgrade. The C-100 is no longer produced by Bombardier Transportation.

The C-100 first made its debut in 1971 when Tampa International Airport first opened. The fleet initially consisted of eight vehicles, however, as the airport expanded, the fleet was later increased in size. Today, the airport operates a mixed fleet of C-100 and CX-100 vehicles, although the airport's original eight vehicles have since been retired.

While the C-100 has been retired at most airports (being replaced by the CX-100) where they were used, many C-100 vehicles remain in service at Orlando International Airport. The Miami-Dade Metromover, an urban downtown people mover in Miami, Florida, still uses a fleet of 29 C-100s. The Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Automated People Mover formerly used a large fleet of C-100 vehicles until they were retired in 2002 and replaced by brand new CX-100 vehicles.
