It will be remembered that awide end door as found in New York is no quicker thanan ordinary door, because people crowd up to it, or line upclose each side, thus narrowing the opening. At the centerof a car, however, as in Boston, a wide door is more effect- ive, as already pointed out, and the time per passenger pass-ing through will be assumed at 0.75 of a second, though theactual average is about 0.93 of a second. It may be well to point out here that the rate of movementof people through doors assumed in this article is exceededregularly in the rush hours with the Brooklyn Bridge cars.
