Multi-unit trains run in interregional traffic « Lastochka" and other electric and diesel trains with seats.

The number of seats depends on the design of the car.

The fundamental difference between a multi-unit rolling stock and a locomotive-drawn train is that all or some of the cars in it are equipped with both engines designed for traction and passenger compartments; in a train with locomotive traction, the wagons are not self-propelled.
