Of interest to note is the official terminology used by the PAT Instruction 
Department for either the left or right side of the car. Bear in mind that my 
training instructor (Angelo Nazzo) was a former PRCo operator and training 
instructor. Thus, the training was actually PRCo training. PAT could add 
nothing except when new technology was introduced. An example of 'new' 
technology was the new signal system in the tunnel and along the joint 
bus/trolley operation sections. Anyway, the side of the car with the doors 
(right side) is the "open" side of the car and the side without doors (left 
side) is the "closed" side of the car.

Just a bit of training trivia.
