But trying to fit this solution into an ordinary street might be awkward, as can be seen in figure 13. The best solution for inner-city streets would probably be to have 2 beams for each direction. For narrow streets with one-way beam traffic, this would mean 2 beams in total. There usually is no place for bigger stops in the streets. Many dispersed stops reduces the average walking distance to the nearest stop.
Many stops are necessary in order for many vehicles to stop at the same time in a small area.
It takes a couple of minutes for people to get in and out of the cars. Each stop needs its own entry and exit beams, so that stopping cars won t be in each other s way. One alternative to have the stop on a parallel beam would be to have the stop at streetlevel . This would also be a solution for cars not equipped with the elevator to lower them down. In narrow streets, one could let this beam be directly underneath the regular beam, as shown in figure 15 .
