Usability metro or if I built the subway ...

Brief introduction
A few days ago, the car broke down. As a result, I now go to work in the subway. For several trips back and forth at rush hour and this idea was born. I live in St. Petersburg - so I will consider the example of our stations. If such an idea is already implemented somewhere, I will be glad to know where exactly. While the network did not find anything like it.

Metro station at the moment
Here is the typical station layout. It seems everything is clear. The main disadvantage, as I believe, is the intersection of oncoming traffic of passengers and the eternal crush at the door of the car during entry / exit.

How would i build
But shemka who came up with (or am I reinventing the wheel?)


In principle, the idea is clear. Incoming and outgoing flows do not intersect, the entrance and exit from different sides of the train.
I see only one of the minuses so far - there will be more construction costs. But it seems to me if a lot less people fall under the cars - it's worth it.

UPD: on the scheme is not the stairs and escalators. So It would be illogical to break in the “wrong direction.” Plus I think the doors will have to be opened in the cars with a delay. Opened on the way out. Shut down Opened to the entrance.

UUPD: this is my first topic in Habré. Feeling completely satisfied. But there is one "but." Very upset that, before leaving a comment, many apparently do not read what they wrote before them. I'm tired of repeating the answers to the same questions :( Thank you all for the comments!
