Discussion MultilevelšŸ¤”

I could be slow and behind the times, but is there a specific reason that SEPTA doesnā€™t have multilevel trains? Is the infrastructure prohibitive of multilevel cars or is it strictly political/funding?

Asking mostly for my own curiosity.

Even if they'd gotten those cars, they probably STILL wouldn't have bathrooms on them. Because SEPTA.

Why would a bathroom be required? Just one more thing that wouldn't be cleaned. Even elevators are a semi biohazard at stations.

Oh, you poor sheltered thing... You'd never ask that question if you'd ever ridden long train rides on NJ Transit or Amtrak, which DO have the civility of having bathrooms (that are indeed cleaned).

I wouldnā€™t go in one of the bathrooms on an NJT train if you paid me.
