The platforms don't need to start that deep. They don't need shelters and canopies. They don't need space to walk behind the shelter. They don't need 8 sets of signage specifying the direction. Do they really need that central barrier between trains? Do they need that big fancy useless canopy.
They need a sidewalk platform at the level of the train floor. They need a sign on each side with the name of the station and the direction. They need lights, ticket machines, security cams, and those help buttons.
Build more bare bones stations to more locations first before adding the extras when there isn't funding to do it all. |
The shelters on those stations are such a tiny part of the overall cost. Removing all of the shelters for the whole length doesn't even get you halfway to one additional station.
