Super Light Rail!
Try doing this with a bus:
DART is updating its fleet of 115 light rail vehicles (LRV) by inserting a new, low-floor insert between the existing sections of the vehicle adding seating capacity and improving access through level boarding. The newly modified vehicles began service on June 23, 2008.
Known as Super Light Rail Vehicles (SLRV) because of the greater length and added passenger capacity, the SLRV will seat approximately 100 passengers compared with 75 on the current vehicles. Standing passengers on the vehicle can nearly double the capacity.

Cool. But confusingly named, if you ask me. I read the headline as touting "(super light) rail" rather than "super (light rail)", so I was expecting to read about a smaller, lighter vehicle.
