In America, good luck. We can’t even get people to enter/exit a train orderly. It’s not an entirely fair comparison though. For example - trains in Japan stop at designated places so the doors line up with the paint markings. There aren’t any on Caltrain/Bart/nyc - so no one knows where to stand. And the conductors don’t have a consistent target.

Or take a busy underground subway. Japan knows to stand on one side and make way for walkers on the other. That isn’t happening in most of America.

But, I just went to Disney world, and that’s about as orderly/idyllic as I think we can get. When all the people there have a similar goal, and Disney has thought up all the processes to remove friction - like trash cans every X feet make it a beautiful place. Their crowd control is also top notch.

BART has markers where the doors open. They only miss it on occasion. There was a big uproar when some new rumble strips didn’t have these markings a few years back (https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/cao2nm/yo_bart_why...)

Oh nice, that’s great to hear. Is it this way at all stops? I’ve been away and haven’t ridden Bart for 7 years.
