The end door is a psychological barrier. When I first saw the plans for them, I predicted this, and it turned out to be true. People in the end level also use the inner doors, not the end doors.They are a civil engineers car, just like the original Amfleet bathrooms - no concept of human behavior or ergonomics. An architect is more atuned to that sort of thing, and would have designed better. Compared to the C-3, the stairs are too narrow and are too steep. People stand on the steps, play with their phones, oblivious to anyone behind them, and the whole aisle waits for the stair-stuffer and for the doors to open, rather than spread out to the middle level and to the end doors. |
