People that only have a few stations to go tend to sit closer to doors.
But also, now that I think about it, this may only be caused by french metro layouts, I'm from France too and this fact seems true to me.
If your train is only a long corridor with seats on the edges, the "difficulty" of getting to/from a door is almost the same everywhere.
But in the french metro you have foldable seats right next to the doors, and groups of 4 seats between doors, and when the metro is busy, it's harder to get out of these 4 seats groupings.
I mean, I totally agree, but I assumed you would play during high traffic when all seats are taken. The rules don't even say what you do with a non-full hand.
