Opening on the wrong side is opening off the platform.You missed my point: Manual door opening was instituted several years ago after there were incidents with doors being opened wrong-side by the automatic door-opening system. The five-second delay has basically nothing to do with this; as the GGW post makes clear, it was instituted two years ago in misguided response to errors where operators opened doors when they were not properly berthed, with some doors off the platform. Those are actually two separate problems (and take it from me; I've made both mistakes in revenue service myself). This procedure was instituted to give train operators the opportunity to not to have to pee in a cup and or be subject to disciplinary action that was not their fault. Are you telling me WMATA forced operators to pee in a cup for errors made by the automated system?!?!? |
