My taxes and my fares pay for public transport, so I will hold the doors open as long as is necessary. |

(I once had to keep a tube train in the station long enough to extract a falling-down drunk, who had managed to wedge himself half-in, half-out of the train, unseen by the conductor due to the curve in the platform. And I do not care to travel with decapitated drunks.) |

Compare with the abount of fare and tax paid by all the other people on that train (not to mention the next train). I thing a few lost limbs and digits may encourage more fiscal responsibility. |

I think that placing indelibible red inkpads along the vertical edges of the doors, would provide sufficient deterent, without the need to severing any limbs. |

i.e. A red line, where your arm 'could' have been chopped would make you think... |

..."who's going to take the dry-cleaning bill for this suit then?"
It is not always my fault that the doors close while I am not yet fully inside the metro or the underrgound train. Many times there are people who stop suddenly or lunge into me as we are all getting on or off at a stop. I would not be impressed if someone else's inattentive perambulation caused me to arrive at work stained. How about very small electric shocks? Would this give problems with pacemakers? |
