The mobocabs won't actually be there when someone needs them, either. They're on rails. They're not going to just be hanging out somewhere in the middle of the line so they can show up in a couple of minutes, they'll be on standby at a trainshed on either end of the line. It's going to take like 30 minutes for one to arrive -- at that point you might as well just have a tram that comes every 30 minutes or so
And that's where you might have a misconception. As I said, I've seen them in real life before and had the opportunity to talk to some people working on them. As far as I understood, they will have stations. (I read your message as you assume they'll stop at any point on the track - they don't). They will stand by these stations and move along to make space for any subsequent monocab.
