The interior of the VRE "Boise Budds" (so-nicknamed because they were converted from RDC's to trailer cars in Boise, ID) is reminiscent of a schoolbus. Each car seats approximately 100 people, and the ride is considerably smoother than that of a Caltrain gallery car. It is interesting to note that these cars also have trap doors, requiring a trainman to open/close them manually at each stop.
