I'd imagine that the platform on most light-rail trains is built so that a ramp is unnecessary?

There's a ramp inside the train that needs to be deployed to bridge the gap to the ramp at the platform.

Sounds like a strange design to me. On most of the train-based public transit I've seen (and even some of the "rapid" buses), the floor of the car is aligned with the floor of the boarding area, such that ramps are unnecessary.

[lotharbot]

they're aligned, but there's a small gap that needs to be bridged.
