NAM approved Transit Stations are included as optional components of the NAM installer. Categories include:

• Proximity-based stations, plopped adjacent to the networks they service. These are the easiest stations to use.
• Avenue overhanging stations, composed of a station piece and an "other side" piece, to link the mass transit network on both sides of the avenue.
• Orthogonal raised stations, designed to sit inside the orthogonal network it services, activated by drawing the network through the station.
• Diagonal raised stations, being a two tile plop with overhang, designed to sit inside a two-tile piece of the diagonal network, activated by drawing the network through the two tiles.
• Dual-mode networking stations, replacing a section of street, road, or avenue, as found among the GLR and RTMT stations.

Proximity-based stations

Maxis proximity-based stations and their enhancement in the NAM

The Maxis Bus Stop must be plopped adjacent to a street, road, avenue, or highway. Highway bus stops must also have pedestrian access on one of the four sides, or else a No Road Access Zot will appear. The way the Bus Stop is facing makes no difference to how it works.

The Maxis Passenger Train Station must be plopped adjacent to a street, road, avenue, or highway on one side, and a rail line on any other side. Again, the orientation of this train station plop makes no difference, which is the essence of how proximity-based stations work. They just need to touch an adjacent tile of the networks they service.

Both Bus Stop and Passenger Train Station have had their capacities increased much higher in the NAM.
