Metrorail customers on the Red Line may notice a quicker commute starting July 7, as Metro resumes use of trains’ automatic door-opening feature. Over the past several months, Metro has tested and tuned the system and trained hundreds of train operators in advance of the milestone.
The automatic door opening feature is part of the original design of the Metrorail system, but its use was discontinued years ago due to a decline in reliability.
As you know, on the 7000 series there is a delay in opening the doors because the computer is checking to make sure everything is OK
