Exactly - a big chunk of SEPTA's network is a very different beast. Lines like the Needham and Fairmont lines are much more of the style of their operation. But don't discount the longer rides to places like either Trenton, Doylestown, Thorndale or Newark. And yes, trying to compare operating practices and farebox recovery is almost impossible between the two systems
Also worth noting that the Silverliner V's were originally designed to be all 3x2 but rider and advocacy organization pushback caused SEPTA to do the compromise plan of partial 2x2. I didn't seem to sense any of that level of attention from the public to equipment design on the MBTA.

Wondering if I'll see the Western Route double-tracking finished before I retire...
