When you get off at the wrong stop in on the tube (subway) in London but don't go through the barrier you don't have to buy another ticket :)

Just a thought... :)

  • Same with the El in Chicago.

    If there were a platform past the red button, would that solve the problem? I kinda like the idea of having to wait on the platform for the train to arrive instead of immediately being punted onto the subway car, although I don't know if that platform would have to be instanced like the subway itself. (If it didn't have to be instanced, then we could have a subway party!)

  • ...ooh, train ariviving party! You could go to every station durring the party! That would be pretty cool.

    BART (one of the regional train systems in the SF Bay) doesn't do this although they do charge you extra if you get off in the same station you get on on, and they call this the Tourist fare sometimes. I wouldn't mind being charged double for something like that.

  • +1 for this idea, it seems pretty common-sensical (and because I want a Glitch Tube Tour End of Test/World party *blush*).  We do have to remember that most people get around via subway for quite some time until their Teleporting skills are high enough to let them Map Teleport; these and other enhancements to the subway system would be a great help to the flood of newbies post-launch.
