While in this case it's a safety issue, this is is one of those things that is a mystery as to why they can't get right. Stopping in the right place is one of those little things that could make such a difference to the passenger experience.
It is a right pain to unnecessarily have to walk an extra four car-lengths up a windy dark platform with the rail pouring down on a winter night. It is far worse for people with restricted mobility. How much effort is it to stop the train within 10 foot of any given stop. |

I've seen a few times when the Japanese sets are opened/unlocked a couple of seconds before the train has come to a complete halt.

Common sense and not rules dictate that train should be stopped before doors open.

Safety rule book allows the doors to be release below 3kph
Try the Paris metro when the train could be still moving at a fair pace before stopping
