who has the right of way?

Hi ladies,

Who has the right of way person: coming into the station/turnstile (catching the train) or person going out (leaving the station/turnstile).
I think to some extend person who is coming into the turnstile. Yesterday, I was going home and saw this happening at the next turnstile.
Woman A going out of turnstile as woman B was coming into the turnstile and then tapped her path train card - this was just a matter of one second. Since woman A got there first and woman B was trying to be slick and jumped in, woman A was not letting Woman B go. I usually let the incoming crowd go first but in this case I think woman A was right. Woman B tells woman A "you are going to make me loose a fair to be a bi**" then woman A says " I was here first, so am I the b or you are the b". Woman B started pushing the turnstile and woman A. Woman A was holding to the sides and not moving. Then, Woman B was trying to jump over the turnstile and pass by woman A. In the process she kept pulling woman A backword and woman A kept saying let go of her. Finally woman A pushed woman B away as woman B was over the turnstile.
WDYT?

  • Wow, sounds like they got pretty physical!  that's crazy!

     I always think the people leaving have the right of way - let them get out before you go in and take their place.

  • I always kinda feel that it depends on the situation. If there are 10 turnstiles and there's people going out 7 of them, then the people going in shouldn't have to give way.  At the same time, if there's a train pulling in or something then the people going in to try to catch that train should definitely get the right of way.

  • Wow.  I try to avoid blocking someone who is swiping their card, but I would say the person leaving should generally have the right of way.
  • I usually give the person entering the right of way. I figure they are trying to catch a train and in a rush whereas I am arriving and am not as rushed.

    I know that it cheeses me off when I am trying to get through to catch my train and everybody is streaming out taking up all the turnstiles.

  • I think people leaving have the right of way, unless of course, the incoming person has already swiped their card.
