I don't think that out of the various vehicle capacity improvement
measure that various tranist/commuter rail operators have tried around
the world that anyone currently has this style of vehicle in service,
even where loading gauge issue mitigate against double deck/tri-level
solutions.  It has been tried, both New York and Chicago come to mind,
but AFAIK in all cases succeeding orders were for conventional two
trucks per body designs.

Cheers,
