The safety commission is investigating why some 7000 series car doors are closing without saying "step back, doors closing"
It appears that some train operators are closing the doors to quickly and departing the station before the message can play
The recorded warnings are a federal requirement listed in the Americans With Disabilities Act, which states that “auditory and visual warning signals shall be provided to alert passengers of closing doors.”
