Basically, next to the train is a series of moving walkways that progressively get slower as they get away from the train. So, the train never stops and people just get on or off wherever they can.
I originally viewed it as a series of moving walkways where the center one had seats. I guess that’s why I thought of it here, since I realized it was a novel type of train.
so…a bunch of (open) trains running in parallel?

yup, Asimov. The Caves of Steel

you can see an artist rednition in the wiki article.
I forgot about the walkways. The underground megopolises however never left my mind since I read those books as a kid
Asimov is such a huge cyberpunk inspiration.
