Real-life Charlies could not get off of that train

Last month, Jenny reported on a horrifying incident involving, among other things, a door on a Red Line car suddenly opening while the train was moving.

Now John reports the opposite problem on a train at Braintree: The doors on their car wouldn't open and they watched everybody else get off the train and finally they pushed the alarm button, but all that happened was some angry T employee opened the door from the other car, yelled at them for pushing the button, then left - locking them in again. Fortunately for them, a nicer T employee came by a couple minutes later.

WTF?

Doesn't the T pay any attention to the report of these incidents? Why the hell don't they fire these individuals for doing such a piss poor job?

Why do we put up with this?

doors on trains

look on every door
its printed as plain as day

''do not lean on door''

Did you even read either

Did you even read either blog? Nobody was leaning on doors. The T malfunctioned. This doesn't have anything to do with the passengers or their behavior.

Although Probably Good Advice

to not lean on the doors considering the first story.
