  Object title	Passengers off the car first please
  Text	Passengers Off The Car First, Please First.- When one gets out another can get in. Second.- Those that would get in before, block the way of those that would get out. So to secure room and save seconds there can be no other rule. Pass Down The Platform There are four, five or six cars to a train. There are two gates to a car, and sometimes three. Two passengers cannot get through the same gate at the same time, but they can get through different gates at the same time. Even loading means quicker loading. Train delays mean overcrowding.
