CFP: An open door or not?

Gepubliceerd op 6 april 2016 om 12:30

According to a Twitter user we have "finally seen the light" at CFP. He was referring to the trial that we are doing on tram line 2.

There go all doors for a period of two months for open loafers.

Are there plans to introduce this open-door model by default in Amsterdam ?, I hear you - and Twitterer - thinking. Not directly. We do the test because we all find something, and all shout about, but we really lacks hard data to substantiate the foregoing facts. The question is: is that open-door model now so beatific, and should even be suitable for Amsterdam?

So we're wondering what constitutes the test on line 2 of insights. Is it really useful to throw open the doors for-boarding passengers? Or perhaps also delivers turmoil on board in the absence of a direction? Contributes significantly to passenger satisfaction? Or is of little influence?

Proponents of the open-door model mention a faster trip. We would also like to explore! it all runs smoother and faster because the inflow is spread over six doors or provide the correct delay on balance? A driver must now clear instead of two doors, keep all doors in the eye when he wants to close them. Here is also a safety issue involved, because how do you good visibility?

And then there's the big pink elephant in the room that nobody talks about. An open tram is not a license for a free ride. An 'open door', but there has to be checked of course. Black Riders do not contribute to a pleasant feeling to the guests as usual checkout, and the revenue should also be maintained. In short, what does the test with the open doors to the number of fare dodgers, the feeling of security and the income?

Every disadvantage has its advantage, said the great Johan Cruyff once. You will only see it when you get it. Wise words.
