The thing is that assuming the train is full, that is 600 man-minutes wasted for the sake of 2 or 3 people who didn't want to walk an extra 3 minutes themselves. So 600 man minutes vs 6 or 9.

That is assuming the train only stops for a minute. Counting deceleration and acceleration time lost, a stop probably costs closer to 2 minutes.

Then as you mentioned, the cost. Not only to build but to maintain.
