The 'Moving Platforms' concept envisions city-wide tram networks that are integrated with a high-speed rail service. When a tram runs next to a high-speed train, the tram speeds up and train slows down.
The moving tram "docks" with the moving train, allowing passengers to cross between tram and train without either vehicle stopping.
