=== Tram stops with mixed-level platforms === Several tram stops have mixed platform heights for various reasons. [[File:Randstadrail RegioCitadis Forepark.jpg|thumb|right|Photo taken from the high-level platform of [[Forepark RandstadRail station|Forepark Station]], showing passengers boarding a tram from the low-level platform]] In [[The Hague|The Hague, Netherlands]], on [[RandstadRail#Lines 3, 4 and 34|tram lines 3, 4, and 34]], between [[Den Haag Laan van NOI railway station|Laan van NOI]] and [[Leidschenveen RandstadRail station|Leidschenveen]] stops, platforms feature mixed heights to accommodate both the high-floor [[Rotterdam_Metro#Line_E|Rotterdam Metro line E]] and the low-floor standard tram vehicles. [[File:Metro Brussel Boileau.jpg|thumb|right|Platforms of [[Boileau premetro station|Boileau]] ''premetro'' station, showing the dual platform heights]] Some stops in the [[Trams in Brussels|pre-metro network]] in [[Brussels]] feature high platforms with cutouts along the edge. This allows passengers to board low-floor trams while maintaining the potential for future upgrade to full-scale metro operations. The cutouts act as access points for low-floor vehicles, ensuring the station can easily transition to a fully high-platform configuration when necessary. The [[Muni Metro]] system in San Francisco utilizes high-floor [[light rail vehicles]] (LRVs). To ensure accessibility for wheelchair users, many street-level stations feature ramps for level boarding. Non-wheelchair users, however, access the LRV by climbing the interior steps from the street-level platform.
