For trains and subways, you can build the stations slightly above the rest of the tracks so that a train will naturally break when reaching the station, and accelerate when leaving. Efficiently storing energy in potential gravitational form. I'm not sure how frequently this is done, but at least in my city the subway does this at most stations.
