No, every day I rode PATCO I positioned myself on the train so that I arrived at the staircase at the northern end of the 8th and Market platform. Because PATCO is at least somewhat sane they allow people walk through while the train is stopped, so several times I took advantage of that when in a hurry. Your assertion that "all that matters is the station" is ludicrous and only serves to display your ignorance of the actual mechanics of using the system. But hey, you invented the Metrocard insurance right? So you must be all knowing on these matters.The big difference with any of your "experience" is that clearly you were out foaming and thus in no particular hurry. Yes, in your idealized situation we can all leave 5 minutes early and arrive perfectly on time. However, here in the real world there are any number of problems well outside anyone's control which can keep someone from reaching the station at the ideal time. It is clear from the cases presented that the MTA's prohibition on passing between cars has much more to do with it being a revenue source for the city than it being a suicide move. |
