The Budd Universal Transit Vehicle is an electric multiple unit heavy rail car built for use on the Baltimore Metro SubwayLink and Miami-Dade Metrorail systems.
The Universal Transit Vehicle was manufactured by the Budd Company at their Red Lion plant in Northeast Philadelphia.
The appearance of cars on the SubwayLink are identical to those on the Metrorail (and vice versa), as the two agencies built their systems at the same time and saved money by sharing a single order.
Cars are semi-permanently attached in married pairs, and were arranged as 4-car trains on the Metrorail.
