Last week, a close friend of mine became trapped between the metro doors. The doors opened, closed, and opened again.
Now she has to get shoulder surgery. The system tells you to wait for others to get off the train. But when you do that, the conductors never give you any time to board. As Metro is working to upgrade their system, they especially need to replace the intercom system so that announcements and warnings are clear.
There are so many incidents where passengers are closed in the Metro doors. Like my friend, many people are getting hurt.
So, when you hear “Step back, doors closing” please step back and make personal safety your primary concern.
