I think all of Calgary's LRVs have doors in pretty close to the same spot.
However, in a system like Calgary's which is struggling to provide enough capacity, why would you limit yourselves in a future order in it was shown that a different door layout provided more capacity? (This may or may not come up with next years order, since the vehicles will be a new manufacturer, and there's a good chance that the cars may be more interconnected inside with less driver's cabs)
The system would require more than just having cars with the doors in the same place, there would have to be some kind of sensor system that would control the cars and stop them at exactly the same spot every time.
