I have to agree with the walking between Subway cars prohabition. As a retired Transit Police Officer, I've seen my share of misery.Here are some examples of the problems I had to deal with while on the Job: Youths riding between cars, snatching handbags from passengers on the platforms, with a number of persons being thrown to the platform, seriously injured. Youths riding between cars, throwing printing ink at people standing on the platform, ruining their clothing. Passengers entering and leaving trains from between the cars, and even leaving the safety chains hanging off the hooks, thus preventing anyone from falling between cars. This was very common during the rush hours when trains were very crowded. Criminals walking through the train looking for victims, without being noticed by the train crew. Untold number of Aided Cards filled out on persons being injured by falls, storm doors closing on their hands as they passed between cars from moving trains, some people even falling to the tracks. I think this law makes sense, and in addition to previous laws against riding b/t the cars, in the long run will make the system safer and help cut the delays to the service due to accidents. |
