Moving platforms let you get on high-speed train Jason Bourne style while it's still moving

Imagine boarding a tram in Manhattan, which then leaves the city to connect with a high-speed train. You leave the tram for the train, and next thing you know you're in downtown San Francisco…all without ever stopping at a station. That's the basic idea behind Moving Platforms, which wants to take high-speed trains and remove the part where they stop at stations. Instead, the trains would simply slow down as they passed by cities, and a tram would rendezvous alongside it and extend walkways so that passengers could move from one to the other. The tram would then uncouple and return to the city while the train speeds back up again.
