The Bombardier ART model has undergone several redesigns from the original UTDC ICTS model, and the Mark II design has been updated by Bombardier, with this newest offering being the [[Bombardier Innovia Metro|Innovia Metro 300]]. Dimensions are similar to the Mark II, with capacity improvements offered over the outgoing model through redesigned car layout. TransLink ordered 28 Mark III cars, which began delivery in 2015, and went into service beginning in August 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.translink.ca/en/About-Us/Media/2016/August/TransLink-launches-first-Mark-III-train.aspx |title=TransLink launches first Mark III train |publisher=TransLink |date=August 18, 2016 |access-date=August 19, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160828011314/http://www.translink.ca/en/About-Us/Media/2016/August/TransLink-launches-first-Mark-III-train.aspx |archive-date=August 28, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Cite web |url=http://www.news1130.com/2016/08/18/new-skytrain-cars-coming-to-expo-line/ |title=New SkyTrain cars coming to Expo Line |date=August 18, 2016 |work=NEWS 1130 |access-date=August 19, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160819155101/http://www.news1130.com/2016/08/18/new-skytrain-cars-coming-to-expo-line/ |archive-date=August 19, 2016 |url-status=live}}</ref> The vehicles appear sleeker, with larger windows on the sides of the train, and redesigned windows and headlights on the ends of the cars.

However, due to a shortage of trains, the Mark IIIs are being used on the Expo Line, while 2-car Innovia 200 (Mk2) serve the Millennium Line. On December 16, 2016, TransLink ordered 28 more Mark III cars, bringing the total of Mark III cars to 56 by the end of 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.translink.ca/en/About-Us/Media/2016/December/28-new-SkyTrain-cars-ordered-to-improve-transit-in-Metro-Vancouver.aspx |title=28 new SkyTrain cars ordered to improve transit in Metro Vancouver |date=December 16, 2016 |website=TransLink.ca |access-date=January 2, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170103102538/http://www.translink.ca/en/About-Us/Media/2016/December/28-new-SkyTrain-cars-ordered-to-improve-transit-in-Metro-Vancouver.aspx |archive-date=January 3, 2017 |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="2018feb_order" /> On February 22, 2018, TransLink announced a further order of 28 Mark III cars, which will bring the total number of Mark III cars to 84 once all trains are in service by the end of 2020.<ref name="2018feb_order">{{cite web |date=February 22, 2018 |title=TransLink accelerating delivery of new SkyTrain cars |url=https://www.translink.ca/About-Us/Media/2018/February/TransLink-accelerating-delivery-of-new-SkyTrain-cars.aspx |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190807225718/https://www.translink.ca/About-Us/Media/2018/February/TransLink-accelerating-delivery-of-new-SkyTrain-cars.aspx |archive-date=August 7, 2019 |access-date=Oct 10, 2023 |website=TransLink}}</ref>
