Can anyone tell me the secret to getting on a subway train? I want to ride the Red Line, know it comes in on the west side. I wait until the train is in the station and the doors open, then enter the command "w" but get the message "Alas, you cannot go in that direction." All hints appreciated.
That should be all it takes. Make sure you are correct about which side of the platform you need to go to get onto the train. Then wait for the message that tells you the doors are opening. Just after this message you will see that the doors materialize in the side of the train, at which point you should be able to just walk on.
Just wanted to say that I finally managed to get on the train. Although the train was on the west side of the station, it turned out that the door was on the east side of the train...it was a learning experience all right.
