An Orange Line train operator opened the doors on the wrong side of his train on Thursday, May 3 at the Ballston Metro station. Such incidents still occur periodically, despite protocols put into place in 2008 to prevent them from happening.
Radio records indicate the operator did not properly report the incident, and a supervisor was sent to take over operations of the train.
The last known time a train operator opened doors on the wrong side of their train was on May 11, 2017, when they opened on the wrong side at Rhode Island Avenue station which sits on elevated tracks above the street with the same name.
