Default Automatic tubes?

That sounds to me very unsafe, in the event of an emergency like what
we had here recently, evecuation would have been much slower, plus some
stations need to have different 'dwell times.'


I looked at this point on the Copenhagen system which is
completely unmanned and has platform doors for safety
reasons.

The dwell times all appeared to be much longer than necessary
even at the busy stations, and it seemed to wait for the same time
at the less busy ones.
