The M9s and M9As are equipped with numerous customer amenity improvements over their predecessors. The cars are equipped with wider seats, closed loop seat armrests similar to those on the M8s, electrical outlets on both sides of the car in each row of seats, four 32-inch multimedia screens in each car, four to six additional seats per married pair, and powered doors on the "B" end of each car. The flip-up seats are equipped with a suspension system to prevent them from slamming. All M9s will be equipped with positive train control (PTC) and CCTV cameras that allow the train crew to view the passenger areas of the train.
