GO Transit: Service thread (including extensions)

[Willybru21]

If the operator sees that the doors aren't clear to close, they shouldn't be trying again until they are clear. Just as clients shouldn't hold the door, operators shouldn't be using the doors as a weapon to stop half of group of people from boarding.

The doors automatically cycle through closing when a block is detected, 3 attempts each one with more force than the last to try and move debris from the door tracks, operator is completely unrelated. If it wasn’t like this half the trains would be delayed in the winter because salt got stuck in the door tracks.

Surely there's a switch to stop the cycling.

And surely they shouldn't have a sole opportunity for closing the door without having to spend 5 minutes to reset everything.

It sounds like it's their design issue. But I'm sure it's more convenient for them to blame their clients.

The person could have well been a tourist from a place where train doors are as forgiving as elevator doors and trains don't leave a minute before the published schedule.

Where in the world are train doors as forgiving as elevator doors? This is a completely foreign concept to me.
