Thank you for your advice. I'd like to hear from someone who has taken the Mount Vernon test.

One-Way Metro Doors

Dear Dr. Gridlock:

Regarding one-way entrance and exits on Metro trains: It won't work. If I get on to ride 10 stops, and you get on behind me for two stops, how do you get past passengers going farther than you to exit the train? You would have to push through half the car to get off.

The only solution I see working is for long-distance riders to move farthest from the doors, so that quick-trippers are always located near the exit. That requires people to be considerate of others -- something we don't get nearly enough of around here, unfortunately.
