There are people that cannot dismount from their transportation vehicles and what's carrying them. And they cannot dismount and walk through the gates as so many people, other people, able bodied people can.

So there's some of the options that are presented here are completely unfeasible, and I'm not sure how the algorithm worked to suggest that somehow that was safe or ever going to be acceptable.
