Friday evening, I was riding the Green Line train to Greenbelt, when at 7:15 p.m. at L'Enfant Plaza the door nearest me (the back of train car 1285) opened on the wrong (left) side.Related:
I'm fairly confident that all doors on the train opened on the wrong side.
A young woman in my car of the train almost exited out of the incorrectly open door - a disastrous situation waiting to happen.
The operator must have realized the error (we certainly had some yelling in my car); the doors were closed, we held for a minute or two, and the doors were finally opened on the correct (right) side.
I wanted to share this experience with you because not only is this a major safety issue, but I simply don't like the fact that Metro put its customers in a potentially hazardous situation.
The wrong kind of openness
