yeayo Posted February 2, 2016 Share #26 Posted February 2, 2016 They are not articulated, they have open gangways, which is another matter entirely. While it's not normal for them to do so, open-gangway trains can be taken apart; they don't share trucks and it's not like the bodies are welded together. Load balancing will be better; it's proven better in other places. Right now only a few people really move between cars because it's impossible/dangerous and illegal, and there's not really a reason to move within a single train car unless you're trying to grab a seat. If you have an open-gangway train or open-gangway sets, things like getting on at the door closest to the exit are less important to do in the station and you can do it while the train is in motion. It's really rich seeing people act like New York is the only place with bums and performers on the train, when nearly every major city has issues like this and they all have ope gangways. New York City has the one of the highest homeless populations in the world. So, it is a bigger issue here compared to other major cities with an extensive transit system.
