How would a loop change the exit design?
As of now, the non-secure car is the rear car on the loop from M-S and then the front car from S-M. If it were to continue in the loop, it would remain the rear car from S-B and then B-M and would be in the right position for the exit...
It seems like the bigger issue is modifying the B concourse to not open the rear set of doors when the train stops. That can't be that significant.
Additionally, though, the C concourse stop was closed for about a year while the station was modernized (and earthquake retrofitted?). It now has the same door design (and LED signs, etc.) as the rest of the system. I'm guessing this may be a factor in the B closure (if these improvements have not been made).
