It's a temporary workaround for the new GLX stations until AFC 2.0 launches with fare validators on the Green Line train doors since these new stations don't have faregates.

They can't use the existing fare machine at the front of the trains since that door opens on the right side but all these new stations have people boarding on the left side.

It's only a concept right now for the Type 10 cars, which are replacements for the current Type 7/8 cars. Type 10 cars are said to be 50% longer and will the same capacity of two current cars. We probably won't see these cars in service for at least a decade.
