On the heels of my bus post

I see this:

Sounds a bit too complicated to me, but it's heading in the right direction. How the people move from the pod to the train and vice versa I don't fully understand. For instance, let's take the NYC subway as an example. You get on this pod at West 4th street, but are planning on going to Columbus circle. Once in the pod, you need to get on to the train itself, as this pod will be dislodged at the next stop, but you have many more to go. So you have to get off the pod and get on the train, while those looking to exit at the next stop need to get into the pod and off the train. Considering the size of the pod and its position on top of the train, it sounds like a pretty complicated, messy, and crowded process. I'm sure this is a beta though, and they will figure out a way around this problem.
