Loads can be bad, but not THAT long...unless your running on a PC as bad as my old one 
I could safely go and get a drink without fear of it loading. The team used to be halfway through a moderate size map before it was done...
Still, hardly necessary, really.

Personally I can't understand why a super hero or a super villian would be slumming it in a train or dirty old ferry anyway...

i know the load times arent exactly long but Id love to see a sort of in transit room for teams using green line or other vehicles to get to missions and areas, just so the teams can talk while it loads and to make the load times less obvious, kind of just a basic room thing say with a few seats or something, but it could work well to get teams being more social

Sounds to me like you need a few upgrades on your PC.
Even on my old PC it wouldn't have been practical to have a transit room to socialise and with my new PC zone time between stations is around 10 seconds.

Hmmm...
Go into the mission and you get the waiting room.
You can start off by summoning pets, start toggles and such.
Meanwhile, in the background everyone is loading.
Somewhere a progress bar is shown for the team's loading.
Put a limiter on when you can actually go in te mission? Like when 50% of the team has loaded? Or no limit.
This time/space could of course be used for chatting.
But in my opinion, if the team isn't chatty, that social room won't help.

Try flying into a warwall.
Try jumping between islands that are far, far... faaaar away from each other.
Or simply this fancy origin they call Natural and stick with the concept.

Villains are probably engaging in a little recreational robbery and assault (to relax between their missions of masterplan robbery, assault & kidnap).
Heroes are doing their guardian angel bit to make the transport systems safe and stop any villains who are engaged in a little recreational robbery and assault.
