Revisiting the idea of high-speed nonstop trains, but not fast enough to create microgravity. No evacuated tunnel, but I still like the idea of feeder trains. Instead of the main train stopping to pick up passengers, a feeder train on a circulating side track couples with the main train, where passengers can get on and off. The feeder train then returns to a station.

The feeder train is located above or below the main train, and hatches between the two are opened on the floor/ceiling. Recall that yinrih are arboreal, and so are more comfortable climbing in everyday situations.
