On the subject, I didn't really understand what was going on with
Ravine Flyer's station. The attendant at the station entrance would
count, and let in, the exact number of people to fill a train--but
then, everyone just scattered and lined up whenever they wanted (ie,
waiting extra cycles for the seat they wanted, particularly front and
back). The attendants didn't care if one wanted to wait for the front
or back seats, but it seemed pointless to only let in however many
people the train held.
