roltrappenroltrappen trap
lift
Veel mensen zoeken licht op om
hun krantje te lezen.
De onderkant van de trap is een
verzamelpunt voor groepjes.
TREINISERNOGNIET
De blauwe bekisting om de paal
wordt gebruikt om koffie op te zetten.
Mensen die in een nis wachten doen
meestal maar één stap naar achteren.
Onervaren reizigers zoeken naar informatie
De onervaren reiziger is continu op
zoek naar bevestiging en informatie.
Meteen nadat zij de roltrap af komt en  
het perron betreedt is ze zoekende. Ze
is duidelijk in verwarring: waar zou de
trein komen te staan?
Ze kiest een kant en loopt richting een
van de informatieborden. Daaronder
blijft ze nogmaals stilstaan om het bord
goed te bekijken.
Ze vraagt zich af wat er op het andere
bord staat. Dus draait ze om, loopt de
andere kant op en bekijkt ook dat bord.
Onzeker loopt ze daarna toch maar weer terug en
gaat midden op het perron staan. Daar wacht ze op de
trein, maar blijft continu op zoek naar informatie:
omroepberichten, een conducteur, een trein die
binnenkomt, dit zijn allemaal triggers om weer te gaan
twijfelen over de huidige positie.
Als er iets verandert op het
perron, hebben mensen
vaak behoefte aan
persoonlijke informatie.
Geroutineerde reizigers weten de weg
De geroutineerde reiziger komt met koffie
en krantje het perron op. Hij maakt geen
gebruik van de informatieborden.
Hij loopt rechtstreeks naar een plekje
op het perron, om daar te wachten op
de trein en zijn krantje te lezen.
Medereizigers doen hetzelfde,
waardoor het perron zich
druppelgewijs vult. De verspreiding
van reizigers is goed: de wachtende
mensen staan netjes op een rij.
Als het drukker wordt vormt zich
een tweede rij iets dichter naar
de rand van het perron.
We resisted the demand for reports:
