Namdoc:Transit Stations
A few dozen NAM approved Transit Stations are included as optional components of the NAM installer.
Many NAM stations service multiple networks, so the broad types of NAM stations relate to how they are built/used:
- Proximity-based stations, are simply plopped adjacent to the networks they service.
- 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 (or ground) 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 networking stations, a transit lot that resembles a puzzle piece, replacing a section of street, road, or avenue, as found among the GLR and RTMT stations.
There are also families of stations that share a similar appearance or BAT style, based on the content creator.
- BriPizza has made distinctive proximity-based stations with irregular overhanging lots.
- RaphaelNinja created the shiny silver Ninja Boulevards.
- Morifari's creations can be spotted by the distinctive orange benches, for the comfort of waiting commuters, and also includes the "Victorian" stations, too.
- Xyloxadoria does the long gracefully arched (1x6) blue glass stations.
- The "Modern" family of stations have a gray concrete, steel and glass structure, the only family of stations with both single-height (15m) and double-height (30m) buildings, which were all created by Xyloxadoria, but have quite a different look from the arched blue glass stations.
- Brenda_Xne did the Modern GLR Station and Modern Monorail and Bullet Train Station, which look quite different from the Xyloxadoria's "Modern" family of stations.

* Plop-size of 1x2 prevents the bus stop from reaching the overhang, so a road must be run along the side of the station, too.
Proximity-based stations
Orient the station using Home/End keys, plop it next to the network(s) you want the station to service, and you're done. Proximity-based stations are among the easiest of stations to learn to use, and orienting the station before plopping is only for the visual effect. These stations work on any orientation, as long as they touch the networks they service.

Maxis proximity-based stations
Both Bus Stop and Passenger Train Station have had their capacities increased much higher 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.
The Maxis Freight Train Station also has a higher capacity in the NAM, and provides transshipment from rail to road, in addition to the road to rail feature provided in original the Maxis version.
