Step 5:

Next realize that since each Mini Robot Kiddy Trains vehicle is only carrying at most two people it is NOW nonsensical to have them slowing down, stopping, and starting up all over again at each and every intermediate station.

Convert all stations to OFFLINE operations as shown here:

The result is NON-STOP 25-mph travel!
(47% faster than the proposed Valley Connections light rail)

Footnotes:

Now instead of just several large multi-car Light Rail trains coming by every so often on a fixed schedule, we should consider adding many, many of those super low cost Mini Robot Kiddy Train vehicles into the system. If we separate where people get off and where they board, we could also allow room for storage of extra vehicles.  Then the riders would no longer have to worry about missing the "scheduled" train or making sure they arrive 5 or 10 minutes early.  Beside the enhanced 47% faster travel speeds, people would also be saving even more time because they could depart as soon as they arrive.  They would be traveling on their own personal schedule, not the government's schedule. It would be very close to what people like about their own automobiles.  You go when you want to go!  On-demand private transit would have a lot of appeal.
