Often, a duplicate set of either platforms or tracks are needed, because people demand frequent and bi-directional train services:

              ____▢▢▢>              /―――――――――――――――――――――▢▢▢>――――――――――――――― Cityline Eastbound
――<▢▢▢―――< [Riverton] >――――――――――――<      [Citycore Sta.]     [Findist Sta.]
              ￣￣￣￣￣              \―――――<▢▢▢―――――――――――――――――――<▢▢▢―――――― Cityline Westbound

and tracks need regular maintainance, for which sections and lines has to be closed or capacity significantly reduced:

Trolley line ――――――――――▢▢▢▢▢▢>―――――X   ඎ ―― ඎ //    ඣ   X―――――――――――――― Red line 
                                    \  [Michael J. Sandel Stadium]      /￣￣￣￣ University North line

What I Wish I'd Known About Equity Before Joining A Unicorn

Disclaimer: This piece is written anonymously. The names of a few particular companies are mentioned, but as common examples only.

This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases). I'm not trying to make the case that you should never join a private company, but the power imbalance between founder and employee is extreme, and that potential candidates would
