The Urbos 3 light rail vehicles entered service with the opening of Canberra’s first light rail line in April 2019. They are the same model as the Urbos 3 light rail vehicles in service in Sydney, although there are some differences in the interior layout. The Canberra vehicles include Wi-Fi and space for bicycles. The seat fabric has artwork by Aboriginal elder Jimmy Williams, and the exterior has a red and grey livery. Their maximum speed in service is 70 km/h. A total of 14 are in service.
