Yet the Sides are Two

Last night, on the T ride home, the train took a longer stop than usual and after several minutes of shutting the train on and off, the conductor asked everyone to move to the left side of the train.  We've all heard conductors stop to wait for passengers to move to the back, but to the left? 

Here, is what he said next, "Ladies and gentlemen, we need all the passengers to please move to the left side of the train.  The door on the right is stuck and we're trying to close it.  Thank you for your patience, we will be moving once the door closes." 

It took awhile longer for the door to close.  I guess it was stuck on the curb.  But next time you're asked to tilt to one side of the train, you'll know why.
