Interestingly it seems that most standard length transit buses in Europe have three doors, and in many systems passengers may enter through center or rear doors. This might be too complicated for Americans to deal with, but it seems to work well in European cities. Artics abroad often have 4 doors! Wait time at stops is minimal compared to New York bus stops. The 2-door artics were a terrible mistake or false economy. If only New Yorkers could be trained never to exit from the front door of an artic, we might have a chance. Hopefully the 3-coor artics will help speed our bus travel, if only people will use the doors sensibly. |
