There is a very logical reason why there should be a check of some kind that passengers are NOT on-board a terminating train that is about to go into the layup/relay area (for an un-knowable amount of time) or into the train yard.I'm hoping that the above statement is not a debate-able one. There is a question about WHAT KIND of check, and SPEEDY-NESS of that check to should be done to reduce the "conga-line" of trains, etc. This kind of a check could be done by having the train operator walk through the whole train car by car; by having both the train operator and the conductor separately walk "half" of the train; by having station personnel on the platforms visually checking the cars and signaling an "all clear", or by having cameras in each car and a monitor screen viewed by the train operator and conductor before that train is "closed up" at the terminal stop. There are a number of ways to conduct this task. Debating the ways the task is performed is not the same as saying that the task does not "need" to be performed. Mike PS - I remember a few years back a woman somehow remained on a #5 train at Bowling Green (when the #5 used the South Ferry Loop track) who caused a great deal of ruckus. She did not take kindly to being arrested and ticketed - but her ruckus caused #4 and #5 service to be disrupted in both directions for an hour or two. I'm sympathetic to the need to clear terminating trains of riders especially where their presence will greatly affect other passengers, train traffic and congestion. |
