I do understand your main point but it's by no means the "quickest" route. Following the signs tends to spread people out. Even at busy times, it's still quicker to take the shorter route out, despite the extra crowding. Regular commuters already know this.
This is a good example of the conflict between individuals who want to get between points A and B as quickly as possible and the station that wants manageable flows without crowding.
- jbri 13y agoI think you parsed that line wrong. I read it as: > I don't class it as a 'lie' to quietly favour "crowds flowing in a safe manner" over "the quickest route". It's a well-formed statement, not a dangling comparative.

- shrikant 13y agoYou must be quite the interwebs young'un. People have been parsing comments on geeky forums since forever. I've seen quite a few instances of it on Slashdot. For e.g.: http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=89151&cid=7712542 http://yro.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=89151&cid=771254...
