Commuter train. The ones that run people from the suburbs to downtown every day. The one where a bunch of businessmen orderly file in and sit down and read their newspapers for 30 minutes. Those load very fast, because the people getting on have a very specific reason to be on the train. This isn't a plane replacement! It's not a holiday tour bus! It's a specific form of technical transportation for a specific subset of travelers, and those people will load on and off a pod in 2 minutes.
