EVERY station has to have platforms as long as the longest train.I don't see what makes that any different from any light rail or rapid transit system in the first world. Now if they use proper railcars they could simply hook up 5 or 6 together and only open the doors for the center three with the same number of operating employees. Except you're stuck with long lines for everybody trying to cram their way into the few doors possible, and then awful dwell times when they attempt to leave the train, especially at low platform stations. In the unlikely that two crush resistant vehicles hit any resulting injury would be compensated by the reduced cost and increased efficiency of the vehicle. And what will you do when your transit agency is turned into a victim's trust fund? |
