Traffic congestion. That streetcar is going to be parked at Victoria westbound, if it had 3 doors, 4 doors, or nothing but doors. It's not the loading time that's most significant ... it's the traffic in rush hour. If you really want it to change it, you get rid of the cars. If you do that, then you can get rid of Victoria.
Look at any of the current streetcars and buses at any stop, you'll see people exiting through the front doors and barely few exiting the rear doors. That's the able-bodied people.
Myself, once I get Presto and the new streetcars, I'll be using the rearmost doors to enter and/or exit. Back in the days of the old MU streetcar trains, I would always use the rear car because I would be sure of getting a seat.
