Just a matter of system design. The Skytrain in Vancouver operates like this at King George station I believe, though having the trains automated it does change things slightly. Though I'm not so sure that it would actually speed thins up in reality, though it may seem faster (what it would do is force everyone to board all at once, rather then staggered over the 3-10 minutes the train is waiting at the terminal station)
