In Toronto, a few of the subway stations that are notorious for unsavory loiterers do exactly the same thing. When they first started doing that, I thought it was silly. But in the end it seems to actually work, because most of those stations are pretty much "by the book" and the other ones are significantly less loitered than before. For the people just passing through, as one aught, it's perfectly pleasant. I actually wonder if it is therapeutic for the people working in those stations.
