<p>Marta in Atlanta at the 5 Points station the train operator opens the doors on both sides of the train. Even more to the point MARTA operates trains with a single operator(who controls the doors) no conductor. It does delay the door openings when the platform is on the left side of the train while the operator gets up and goes to the other side.(and on departure as well)</p><p> One other comment. I saw a picture of a bus in use in Rome(Italy) 35 or 40 footer I think. The interesting thing about the bus was 4 sets of double doors on each side of the bus. With loads being what they were this kind of setup had the ability to soak up crowds in a big hurrry.</p><p>Rgds IGN</p>
