When you into a station a sensor picks you up so the train
knows in needs to stop there (a light could come on to let
you know this has happened)
Once on the train you push a button on a light up map of the
stop you want. It stays lit like on an elevator, the train only
stops at the lit
up stops or the ones where someone is waiting
for a train.
This way trains never stop and open their doors then just sit
there wasting everyone's time while no one get on or off.
To avoid trains backing up in the tunnels the platforms should
be split into two or three levels so more than one train can
pull into a stop.

How about getting on the train and setting the doors to open for a longer time. This is partially used in Malaysia, where commuters have "control" over the doors. |

If stations are frequently empty, trains aren't really economical. |

Could be the other way around. Could be certain stations are wasted on the trains. |
