SEPTA buys rail cars from NJ Transit

SEPTA, has seen a sharp increase in ridership, which has caused overcrowding on the trains. While SEPTA awaits new Silverliner V trains from Hyundai Rotem, which begin arriving in 2009, it had hoped to lease eight rail cars from New Jersey Transit, at an agreed-upon rate of US$10,000 per month. However, due to problems with insurance and liability indemnification, the deal fell through, according to Casey.
