Seems like "isolating" them would increase friction. It makes a lot of sense in case of trains or metro but don't see it for trams.
- iso1631 5y agoI can't think of anything like a tram station in Amsterdam, at least for most stops (maybe Centraal?). Some cities have raised tram platforms - Manchester UK and Stuttgart DE come to mind. Not sure if you need a ticket to be on them, doesn't make sense as the ticket machine is on the platform.

The bus rapid transit system in Curitiba Brazil uses enclosed stops: http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2026474_2026675_2069055,00.html http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,288...
