Rolling Stock
editLine S9 uses car Class B aluminum alloy trains with a maximum service speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).[7] The train cars are 2.8 meters (9 ft 2 in) wide with a transverse 2+2 seating layout, with 151 seats and a capacity of 441 people.[8] Unlike most Class B metro trains, each car only has 3 doors per side instead of 4, owing to the line's length and speed.
