I’ve needed to complain about this for awhile. There are certain etiquettes that seem to be lost on my fellow T riders. Why do you have to stand in the doorways when there is plenty of room in the rest of the car? These are not people who are getting off at the next stop. These are not people who are disabled and would a difficult time wading their way through crowds. No, these are healthy adults just standing in doorways. This is especially bad on the Green Line. Today when I got off there were two guys on one of the middle stairwells, just standing there leaning back and reading their newspapers, leaving only enough room for one person to get through at a time. I purposefully brushed against both of their papers.
One more thing, why don’t people wait for other passengers to leave the car before they board. The train will not leave until all have boarded. And if you have space to spread out, why cram in front of the doorway so that those exiting have no place to go?
A solution to all this is common sense, something I know is lacking in many simply because they don’t take the time to realize it.
Okay, I’m done.
