Let’s say there are 10 vehicles being loaded at a time. 16 passengers each is 160 passengers per cycle. That means vehicles can wait 6 minutes for loading on average. (Some can be slower because some will be faster)
Is that crazy? It doesn’t seem crazy to me. Busses don’t wait 6 minutes at a stop.
BART does 1-2 minute transfers.
Your idea that it would need attendants seems to be based on the assumption that cars must depart synchronously (because one slow party can hold up the entire system). But you’re missing the whole point of the Loop design: many on-ramps and cars can join into the express tunnel asynchronously.
