Step back, doors closing. The automated system that opens doors when trains arrive at stations, which Metro rolled out on the Red Line in January, has once again been turned back off. Train operators will now resort back to manually pushing the buttons needed to open doors when trains berth to let riders on and off.
An audit issued earlier this year by the Washington Metropolitan Safety Commission (WMSC), which oversees Metrorail safety, spotted flaws in the way that ADO came to be re-certified and re-enabled this year, which potentially played a role in this saga’s latest development.
The WMSC confirmed that Metro disabled ADO, but neither agency returned several follow-up questions about the topic before this article was published.
