The Sunday Times talked about using different doors for boarding and alighting on the MRT. Kind of reminds me of my own experience at the MRT station.
By right, people are supposed to wait at either side of the screen door, let the passengers alight first, then board the train. I adhere to that. But when those on the other side rush in the moment the doors open, naturally those alighting would take the easier path, ie, my side of the door. You really have a bi-directional human flow happening simultaneously. So by the time those alighting passengers have cleared, the boarding ones on the other side of the door have already taken up what remaining seats, and then it is my time to board the train. I would be lucky if I can get onto the train and find a decent un-hugged pole to grab on.
It is like getting punished for being gracious.
