The Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover at Changi Airport is a Crystal Mover automated people mover which operates on Changi Airport Skytrain. It entered service in 2006 and replaces the 16-year-old Adtranz C-100, bringing this rolling stock of the second generation APM in Changi Airport.
History
The plans were determined to need expansion for the upcoming Terminal 3. It cost US$135 million to pay for 16 trainsets by Crystal Mover, which C-100s don't support two-car, the reverse is true for the Crystal Mover.
Exterior design
The design of the train was black on top with grey on the bottom.
Interior design
The color of the interior is light-yellow. LCD screens (?) are placed at the end of every car, similar to the never-used LCD screens on the Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Crystal Mover C810. Unlike trains run under LRT, which have seating in the middle, it does not have seating in the middle and only at the end of each train. This is to allow more standing and more luggage space, lest it gets crowded. The trains boarded depends on which area one is in, for example, if you are in the Public Area, the seat color is blue (Set 01–10), while the Transit Area provides an orange color scheme on the seats (Set 11–16).
