Unless you're traveling over a hundred miles, leave these things at home.

Of all the stations I've used on Metro, Gallery Place is by far my least favorite. The terrible T-shaped design leads to inefficient movements of passengers since anyone transferring from the red to yellow/green must fight through the mass of people transferring from the yellow/green to red. 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.
