I dunno where you live but Metra in Chicagoland (connecting the city center to the surrounding suburbs) are double decker already. The L trains downtown don't really need them.

Metra is more of a commuter system than a metro system... but when looking at systems like San Francisco's BART, the line between a metro and a commuter railway gets blurry.
