双层市郊客车在世界的许多地方已经普遍应用,其中包括美国的西部和中西部。近25年来,全世界已有9000多辆双层客车投入使用。长岛铁路(LIRR)将订购12辆有180个座位的试制型双层客车(单层标准客车只有120个座位)。该车将于1990年末在杰斐逊港口支线试运。如果铁路和旅客对这种双层客车的使用满意的话,长岛铁路则将增订108辆。马萨诸塞州海湾交通局也进行过一次60～100辆由机车牵引的双层客车的招标,用于波士顿的市郊运输。法国的阿尔斯通公司、日本的住友株式会社(代表日本三阳新干线)
Double-decker suburban buses have become commonplace in many parts of the world, including the western and midwestern United States. Over the past 25 years, more than 9,000 double-decker buses have been put into operation throughout the world. The Long Island Railway (LIRR) will order 12 trial-size double-decker buses with a capacity of 180 seats (120 seats for single-floor standard buses). The car will be commissioned at the Jefferson Port Extension in late 1990. If railways and passengers are satisfied with the use of such double-decker buses, an additional 108 will be added to the Long Island Railway. Massachusetts Gulf Transport also conducted a tender of 60-100 double-decker locomotive-towed coaches for suburban Boston transportation.
