MASSACHUSETTS BAY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY  COMMUTER  BI- LEVEL BOSTON, USA

THE Massachusetts Bay Transportatio Authority HAS RECEIVED 107 KAWASAKI CARS SINCE 1991.

And according to Anna Barry, they're the most popular cars on the line. The system has doubled its ridership in the last 10 years - Kawasaki bi-level cars have helped to alleviate a serious capacity problem. "For us," Barry says, "they're the workhorse of the system . . . people clamor for them." To the riders, the cars are more than hardworking - they're extremely comfortable. The ride is smooth, seats are wide, and tables between center seats allow commuters to work en route. The car's quality has resulted in low maintenance and infrequent breakdowns, increasing the MBTA line's efficiency and keeping customers moving. Overall, the Kawasaki bi-levels have been a huge success for the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority. "The capacity is number one, the appearance is very popular and the functionality is very high," Barry says. "It's a very well-riding car."
