Instead of having half from one end and half from the other end taking their own escalators up/down or meeting in the middle to take the escalators up/down (as would be the case in a X or cross shaped station), you instead have a mass of humanity, all moving at different paces along narrow platforms, in opposing directions. The afternoon rush at Gallery Place drives me crazy.

I was in DC last weekend. Don't the L'Enfant Plaza and Metro Center Stations have the same issues? Metro Center is pretty ugly during the afternoon rush itself.
