in/ at

When the train reached the last stop at Taipei, all of the passengers got off it.

I'd like to ask why in the sentence the preposition "at" is used before the city other than "in". Please advise.

the last stop at Taipei Sounds like Taipei is the location of the last stop. And that there is only one stop in Taipei. the last stop in Taipei Sounds a bit like there may be more than one stop in Taipei.
