 Close spacing hortens walk distance for passengers, but increases transit trip time due to more stops and starts by the trains.  Stations are usually placed at major passenger generators and major transfer points.  Closer spacing (1/2 mile or less) is appropriate where adjacent land uses and population/employment densities warrant.
- Spacing also depends on the nature of the service.  Long distance commuter service generally has stations that are further apart, while short-hop local service has stations that are closer together.

	:* In cases where an acceptable LOS for the forecasted patronage cannot be achieved with an acceptable station size and cost, other system characteristics such as more frequent trains (reduced headways) may be considered. However, reduced headways will require purchasing more trains, more operators, increased traction power requirements, and possibly a larger storage yard.		:* In cases where an acceptable LOS for the forecasted patronage cannot be achieved with an acceptable station size and cost, other system characteristics such as more frequent trains (reduced headways) may be considered.
