As I said, having one whole door opening closed up is an awful idea. People are going to clog the door that opens while the space by the door that doesn't open will go largely unused. You won't gain full capacity of the car and you'll increase dwell times as you have up to two door openings worth of people funneling into and out of one opening. The outer most doors are used as the main station entrances to Lorimer through 3rd Avenue are at the very west ends of the platforms. Even Union Square and 6th Avenue have busy entrances very near their west ends. Those doors will remain popular. As a test I suggest you lock out the outer panels on a train, move the stopping points and see what happens.

The bucking has nothing to do with the specific propulsion hardware. It wasn't designed into the control messages on the R142As.
