    Usually these systems rely on people getting on/off at different stops, rather than one stop seeing full volume. If it’s one stop, chances are it’ll look like a terminus station and you’ll need several platforms and possibly dual-side boarding to each train. It’ll be quite a bit wider than tracks with no station, or a minimalist station.

    yeah, on the tram line i typically take, we have like 1 stop where lots of people get on/off, like 30 people per door, and it always takes 1-2 minutes to unload all the people/new people to enter. i think it’s just outright planned-into into the route’s timing plan.
