When you read this sign on the door inside of the subway, it means that you should use the doors only in case of emergency. People at 34th Street on Penn Station do not follow this rule. The only trouble I have with them using this door is that in the case of a real emergency, the attendant will think it’s just some dick who doesn’t want to stand on the line to exit the back of the platform.

There are a few ways to solve this problem. Start to issue tickets to offenders or try to open up the back of the platform and add more turnstiles for exit. Currently there are no turnstiles and only revolving gates.

I know as I’m finished writing this, I’ll be welcomed with another siren blare of the improper use of the emergency exit door. If someone stood there even the problem could be solved.
