Get out while you get on.

Metro stops can be quite long, sometimes taking several minutes to walk end to end. Experienced riders, while waiting for their train, will walk to a specific place, so that they can exit or transfer out of the station as soon as they step off the train.

But if you’re new to a line, you don’t know where the exits are. The proposal is to put “ghost” exits at every metro stop, so that you know where all the exits and transfer points are for all the stops on the line. Some sort of indicator saying “if you were at the Morgan Av stop, this would be the exit to Bogart St”. This could be a subtle sign or a drawn doorway like in Beetlejuice.
