Boarding Pass

So, this has been rattling around in my head for a bit...

T riders: when you board a train, do you choose what car or section to get on based on where you want to be when you need to exit?

I've always done this. It's just how my Virgo brain works, but I suppose it also stems from the need to make a connection to a bus or another train, and the desire to maximize the chance of making said connection by minimizing the time spent walking from one to another.

There's an iPhone app for this pertaining to the New York subway system, which makes sense because it's so much more complex than ours, the trains and platforms are so much longer, and stations often have multiple exits.
