> Also: this thing being wider gives it about three times the floor area relative to a train, so it would require about thrice the number of doors to get passengers in and out efficiently. How do you do that while keeping it structurally safe? I guess the answer is that that spacious room inside would see a few walls added.

That thing has already twice more doors than a train since the doors of both sides can be used, so it partially solves that problem already.

The other issue is the type of door they're proposing. The video showed a large elevator being raised and lowered from an elevated platform. That seems unnecessarily slow and complicated, but there's no easy way to get passengers out of an elevated bus above traffic
