No idea what it would take SEPTA to actually have a bathroom, especially when these trains have stupid long delays.
Outside of that, I'm not so sure if Bilevels bricks are the magic bullet to fix SEPTA's problems. Keep in mind dwell times spike with these things, especially for a line like Paoli or Doylestown on the R5 where the stations are so clustered together.
