There are probably very broad regulations that have some basis in law that pretty much permit the railroad to do whatever it wants within reason. It would probably take a good lawyer and a careful reading of the "tariff rules and regulations" to make a strong case, but restricting passenger movements is certainly within the rights of the railroad. One does not have to like the rules and regulations, nor does he have to believe that they are sensible, but he has to abide by them. In general, that's part of the bargain that one makes when he takes public transit. Those who don't like the rules can walk, bicycle, or drive. Even on the streets are found "one-way" signs that must be followed, regardless of the immediate danger or sensibility of the rule. The railroad has essentially erected the equivalent of "one-way" signs for the platform at 125 St; it's as simple as that. I have a hard time understanding why this has generated so much debate. The only weak spot here is perhaps a lack of clear warning ahead of time. Perhaps a recorded announcement played before 125 St would correct that. |
