Who operates the doors in MATC?

In the context of the Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (MATC) operations, the train crew is responsible for operating the doors of the train. This includes ensuring that the doors open and close appropriately at each stop to facilitate safe boarding and alighting of passengers.

The train crew has specific training and protocols to follow regarding door operation, ensuring they can respond confidently and competently to any issues that may arise during service. They are trained to communicate with the station crew when necessary, but the responsibility for the actual operation of the doors lies with them.

The station crew typically performs other functions, such as monitoring station safety, assisting passengers, and ensuring that the trains run smoothly, but they do not usually operate the doors themselves. The maintenance team focuses on ensuring the overall operational integrity of the trains, including the door systems, but does not operate the doors during regular service. Passengers do not have the capability or authority to operate the doors for safety and security reasons.
