Ok, what I can say. I hate it when your are standing in a crowded subway car in the middle of rush hour which is bad enought, but is made worse when some nervous passenger who has managed to be given a gift of a actually seat decides they have to stand up and get ready to "debark" the subway. I mean we are still several mins from the next station and there is no room to move around, and these jokers decided that they need to stand up and get ready. As if at rush hour they will not have enought time to make it to the door, and getting into the prone position gives them that edge that allows them to make it to the platform safely. I mean in 5+ years of riding the subway every morning and evaning I have never seen a person who was half way paying attention not be able to get to door in time to get of the train. Standing up only makes a bad situation worse, you have to somehow shuffle around and move around so that his sap can plod their way to the door. I have gotten from the back of the green line trolley to the door at Copley in the middle of Red Sox a playoffs so I think you should have no problem getting three feet from your seat to the double door at Park street on a Tues morning. Lets use some common sense here people!

Even when the train is not crowded at all, I can never figure out why people get up to get off the train way before the train gets into the station. I've always thought they were somehow trying to show off their extreme T knowledge... like I'm supposed to be impressed that they know that oh, the train is about to stop. I always wait until the train is stopped to get up. Why waste the energy getting up earlier? I've never missed my stop. 2. DCB I agree absolutely. Like the people standing and trying to stay upright should give up their treasured hand-hold so that you can sneak out of your seat, taking their hand-hold cause you can't stand up otherwise, and make your way to the doors. However, I must say places like Paris have such a better system - people are at the door ready to get off, people let them get off and then quickly get on, no one falls, and the trains stay on time. But these people getting up early is hardly going to give us the T system we deserve so they may as well stay put! 3. Guest User So true. Especially, when they are getting up at a major hub like North or South Station and they give you the "Excuse me. I need to get out here" line. really, dude? No kidding? About half of this train is gonna get out here. |
