This just in: We have received this missive from Red (Line) Baron:
Imagine: You are standing in a crystal clear pool. Before you is a magnificent and terrifying waterfall, behind which is a cave containing a great treasure or your favorite actor or something else desirable of that nature.
Every day, every five minutes, like clockwork the waterfall stops abruptly for several minutes before starting up again with a roar.
You desperately want to get into that cave. If you try to go through the waterfall you will likely be crushed to death by the force of the water. You will also upset the delicate balance of nature. If you wait for the waterfall to stop you can move safely into the cave to collect your treasure unharmed, and you will, at most, have to wait a few minutes.
Which of these sounds like the better option?
Now consider: When you are waiting to get on the train at Park Street, could you just wait the one minute it takes people to GET OFF THE TRAIN before you try to shove your way on?
