This may be partly because Americans tend not to like walking - I used to
catch a northbound Lexington Avenue local from 23rd St., and found that
while most of the ten-car train was packed, there were usually seats in the
last car; to get to them involved walking three or four carlengths from the
station entrance.


Ah, just as on Victoria line in London ;-)
