The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) has begun testing three-car setups with its new Siemens-built light-rail units.

The agency may put the three-car trains into service as early as this spring, SFMTA officials wrote in a blog.

Muni has some street running for its light rail operation. Three-car trains will be a most interesting sight, especially in the area around 4th and Townsend.
