The Bombardier Flexity Classic is a model of light-rail tram manufactured by Bombardier Transportation (now merged into Alstom). Although it is marketed as the most traditionally designed member of the Flexity family, it is still a modern bi-directional articulated tram with a low-floor section allowing good accessibility, especially to passengers in wheelchairs. Flexity Classic trams run on 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) standard gauge in Australia, 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge in Essen, 1,450 mm (4 ft 9+3⁄32 in) in Dresden, and 1,458 mm (4 ft 9+13⁄32 in) in Leipzig.
Flexity models operate in a number of German cities, as well as in Stockholm (2010–2020), Norrköping and Gothenburg (Sweden), Kraków and Gdańsk (Poland), and Adelaide in South Australia.
Along with Bombardier's other Flexity trams, the Flexity Classic's closest competitors are Alstom's Citadis and Siemens' Combino, Avenio and Avanto.
