The Alstom Metropolis M5 is a fleet of 28 six-car electric multiple unit (EMU) trains for the Amsterdam Metro, delivered by the French manufacturer Alstom between 2012 and 2015. The trains are based on the Alstom Metropolis series, with variants in use by metro systems in various foreign cities such as Barcelona, Budapest, Santiago, and Shanghai. Although the trains are suitable for driverless operation, they are currently operated by drivers.
