I continued to develop the idea from the 2nd post. The goal was to have the triangulated structure for the elevated passenger waiting area and transition into a elevated walkway towards the parking lot.
Here is a simple overall plan of what I am trying to achieve. Note, the bridge is just a placeholder, and in no way is it representative of the final outcome.
Perspective and elevation view. Passengers would exit the station, go up the stairs to ground level and look for whoever is picking them up. If their ride is not there or their car is parked in the adjacent lot, passengers would ascend to the next level to utilize the elevated walkway or waiting area.

The following images are beginnings of considerations for structural details:
Top to bottom:
- Possible connection for the triangulated structure to the ground.
- Elevated walkway cross section, construction and glazing details.
Possible connection for the vertices of the triangulated structure, to each other as well as the foundation.
Another idea to integrate kinematics into the elevated walkway. The width of the bridge would increase depending on the amount of people. Self explanatory sketches with pin connections.
After speaking with Vince, I may be trying to do too much...
