But are they? These are only proposals.
Bi-level coaches will increase ridership without lengthening trains: a Silverliner V car can sit 109 passengers, but bi-levels can sit somewhere between 120 and 170 passengers. A recent study determined that bi-levels weren’t too tall for the tunnels SEPTA trains need to squeeze through. SEPTA is looking to purchase similar coaches to those used by NJ Transit and Boston’s MBTA.
There is no way that a NJT-type MLV will ever seat up to 170 pax, unless SEPTA becomes daring and puts 3-2 seating in them. SEPTA is about as known for "daring" as their trains are known for bathrooms.

The "Catching Up" slogan reeks of as much desperation as "We're Getting There".
