I understand that in some places, they have
double-decked trams and trains, too. Seems like an easy and general way to

Certainly double-decker trains in Switzerland. From the entry
doors you descend several steps to the lower deck or climb stairs to the
upper. Many of the S-Bahn trains around Zurich are so equipped.
