   At least close off the FARTHEST 2 cars from the entry gate, NOT the FIRST 2   
   cars near the station, which forces any poor ADA wheelchairs to roll 2 blocks   
   to the only accessible car.   
      
   In contrast, Union Pacific ALWAYS has the cars nearest the station open at   
   OTC. The car at the end of the train next to the engine may be closed,   
   sometimes.   
      
   I'm glad to have the option of the Pace Express Bus during the work week.   
      
   Oh, and the bozo trainman did open the 2 BSMF cars eventually.
