The Worst Type of Train Station

Highway median transit stations seem to be a North American specialty, I wish that wasn't the case. Our Cities deserve better.Thanks Diana for the C:S demo! ...

    The train tracks being down the middle of the highway makes a lot of sense, you are keeping the noise away from housing and it’s an effective use of space since nothing else really works there, plus you already have the right of way.

    Might make sense for the station to be off to whichever side has more people, and the tracks to go under the highway briefly but I bet that adds a bunch of cost.

      Sure but the opportunity cost of not paying extra to place your train tracks well? No one rides it. The health cost of allcof this noise pollution on riders encourages them to find other transportstion options. No destination at the end. You get off the train and there’s no development because it’s surrounded by loud, ugly highway.

        Rofl. Yeah. Cyberpunk art rarely talks about the dehumanising act of waiting for the train in the middle of a super loud and dangerous highway.
