Honolulu Rail Transit

https://www.honolulutransit.org/ride/design
Platforms are the locations where passengers will wait for and board trains. Stations will have one, two or three platforms, which can be either a side or center type of platform. Side platforms have tracks on one side and will be 240 feet long and 12 feet wide. Center platforms have tracks on both sides and will be 240 feet long and 30 feet wide. 
All platforms will be high-level (at the same level as the rail vehicle floor) to provide level boarding for all passengers and to accommodate wheelchairs, strollers, etc.

"The line will use 256 ft (78 m) four-car train sets, each with the capacity to carry about 780 passengers, similar in weight to light rail systems elsewhere in the United States (such as the MAX in Portland, Oregon), as opposed to heavier, and thus more expensive, lines found on rapid transit systems like the subways and elevated systems of Chicago and New York City."
