They have those unloading points because they are able to take them off of the cable while loading and unloading. We don't design these for cities, but we could. This means loading/unloading could be coordinated across multiple nodes and you could even switch tracks which takes care of the fixed distance problem. Detachable chairlifts can do 12mph which is faster than many city buses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachable_chairlift https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detachable_chairlift
