Then there's also the annoying 5-second wait before opening the doors that WMATA instituted a couple of years ago.

The train operators position is on the right. The majority of the stations have island platforms on the left. The train operator births the train at the platform, get up from the seat on the right, goes to the left side, opens the window to make sure the train is in fact birthed at the platform, pushes the door open button.

That was instituted to prevent the automatic opening of doors off the platform.
