> Selecting a row near the doors can increase the likelihood of passenger turnover

I don't think that's true. People get off when they get to their destination whether or not it is easy to reach the door, and sit in available spaces.

People that only have a few stations to go tend to sit closer to doors.

But also, now that I think about it, this may only be caused by french metro layouts, I'm from France too and this fact seems true to me.

If your train is only a long corridor with seats on the edges, the "difficulty" of getting to/from a door is almost the same everywhere.

But in the french metro you have foldable seats right next to the doors, and groups of 4 seats between doors, and when the metro is busy, it's harder to get out of these 4 seats groupings.

I mean, I totally agree, but I assumed you would play during high traffic when all seats are taken. The rules don't even say what you do with a non-full hand.
