Basically, next to the train is a series of moving walkways that progressively get slower as they get away from the train. So, the train never stops and people just get on or off wherever they can.

so...a bunch of (open) trains running in parallel?

    I originally viewed it as a series of moving walkways where the center one had seats. I guess that's why I thought of it here, since I realized it was a novel type of train.
