While it's not in English, interesting to watch a proposed idea on how to have a train not stop at each station for the passengers. Surely have to slow down at least it appears, but won't have to stop.

So I assume they actually enter the train through the floor of the loading car. Really interesting. My question is do the added infrastructure costs. Justify the time savings. You would essentially have to rebuild every aspect of the ROW and equipment due to the exess height and new design.

What happens if someone is halfway between the main cabin and the loading/unloading module at the time of release?

So what happens if you are in a wheelchair?
The demo shows only non-handicapped people.

Um, Disney has already solved the train not stopping problem with the Omnimover, in its case the load operator can slow or stop both the platform and cars for "special" needs or emergencies, but being this is China there will just be a garbage dumpster to fall into at the end
