Makes sense from a chaoticness standpoint as well. I have a transfer in my neighborhood and one downtown, where four rail lines and dozens of busses meet. The downtown transfer is an absolute zoo. Near stampedes on the stairs between the rail platforms. Absolute chaos with the dozens of bus lines on the streets above, easy to get turned around exiting the underground station taking the wrong stair out because the station is symmetrical. A lot more trash, noise, bad smells, and evidently crime from the level of police presence at this central station. I imagine most central transit hubs in places with more transit use are even more chaotic than my American example.
