Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video a tram is entering a stop where many people are walking and standing on the platform, some of them close to the edge; on the left an oncoming tram is passing us. In this situation you should carefully watch the pedestrians at the stop - the answer is YES.
People in a crowd often do not look at the tracks, they talk, or they lean out to see the number of the tram. Any of them may unexpectedly come close to the edge of the platform. That is why you enter the stop slowly and watch the pedestrians the whole time, and when someone is standing too close to the track, you warn them with the bell or stop the tram. Be particularly careful with children and older people, who may move unsteadily.
