In May of 2010 it was announced that Bombardier will build a 3.6-kilometer monorail system for the King Abdullah Financial District, the new financial and business center under development in Riyadh. The system will feature six stations and six two-car, driverless monorail trains. The $241 million monorail is scheduled to be completed in 2012. The technology chosen is Bombardier's Innova Monorail 300. This will be Bombardier's first monorail outside of North America.
