I've been saying that ever since I lived there in the early 1990s. I even wrote to Dr. Gridlock, offering that as a theory, and was rebuffed, IIRC.

The board submitted that idea to the staff when the specification were being drawn up for the 5K cars. The staff shot that idea down because the design engineers said the 4th door would require structural modification that would make the cars to heavy.
