We've seen some of the issues, even recently with the trolley/bus/P&W operators being assaulted just for trying to collect fares, and surely this puts the EL/BSS operators in that same boat too. Plus this has to slow down the trains and increase dwell times especially when people are getting a transfer, don't have the right amount of change, etc.
I don't think paying the train operator will go smoothly.
And I like the warning: "PLEASE REMEMBER TO STAY BEHIND THE YELLOW LINE & DON'T CROWD THE FARE COLLECTION LINE". I can imagine some people will stand right on the yellow line waiting to be first to pay the fare and then getting shoved or falling off the platfrom in front of the oncoming train.
