I've often noticed that people will not get on a tram with available capacity even though it is the only line at that stop. What is the logic here? Why stand at that stop if you aren't going to get on the next available vehicle? I've also noticed that a full tram will stop and no one will either get on or off. I could understand this if there were a traffic reason but that doesn't seem to be the case. Finally, do trams non-stop if no one is exiting (the real life "next car please" situation)? This seems to happen occasionally but I haven't seen enough to be positive about this.

Tram drivers will stop in-case somebody wants to get off. I see this happen all the time in real life on all forms of transport unless it is a request stop.
Regarding passengers not boarding a not full tram at a single line station, sounds like your drivers aren't being paid enough.

Or maybe these people don't like this vehicle, or maybe ticket prices are too high (looks like those cases happen, especially the second one).
No, they are not going to the stop to wait.
I would say it's more like a bug in the game.

as far as i remember, this question or similar one was discussed earlier in one of the topics here somewhere, but quite long ago...
Exactly. Stop being a cheap bastard. Give your drivers a fair salary.

I'm doing Old Vienna. Everyone is well-paid (green smile) and fares are set as low as possible (they're green too) so I'm not being a cheap bastard when unemployment is over 25%. I need every possible rider and I noticed these patterns for exactly that reason.
On a secondary note most transit organizations trace both start and stop of journeys and this info doesn't seem to be readily available in a useable form. Individual information is just too small a sample to be useful for planning and adjustment purposes. Am I missing something somewhere?
