if you are traveling on the rail and you get to the redlight and see 2 directions 1 is going right 1 is going straight forward. So if you click the button on the right you obviously go right and if you click on the button to the left you go straight forward and if you insted come to a redlight that has a direction that is 1 left and 1 forward its the opposite on the button clicking.
We need helpers to make a Redlight system in every rail that is branching off from the main line. You can apply by telling me this basic information about you:

Last time I used the subway (which was maybe a month ago), there were instances where I needed to break the minecart, replace it on the track, and push the button in order to get it going. I couldn't push the button upon arrival at the station. Just saying, that slows you down a bit. It'd be great if you could fix these "bugs" and avoid them at future stations by correctly placed powered rails. Makes traveling more pleasant and quicker.

Yea, I noticed that too.
When it does happen though, you can press "w" to inch forward (down) on the ramp, which will allow you to press the button. Just don't go too far.

I rarely use the subway, but when I do and this happens, it really doesn't bother me. How much time extra does it add, 10 seconds?

How will the switch work since redstone cant be placed on public realms? I know not all switches are on public realms but some are.
Simple and works on public. A reason why I didnt really change it on my realms.
