i could see a mix of the tram with the tube pod thinge: a clear pipe going around the outside station with a tram inside to move people, stopping at various departments. would make transport more interesting (especially if those are airbridges i see) and more potential ways to kill people going around the station (break the tube off at a corner and see how the tram riders react on their train-turned-shuttle)
That really was one of the coolest features of MarsOutpost. It was a little iffy but when it worked, it worked, and it was pretty cool. It might not work as well on the space station, though, since there likely wouldn't be any good way to get it to go across an area of open space (a rail in space without walls around it) without there being some way to prevent it from depressurizing an area whenever it goes into or leaves an area. And rails WOULD have to go across space to keep it so that space crafts can get closer to the center the way they do now.
Maybe some kind of air bridge system? But for the most part, I just don't see it working on this station.
