It definitely wasn't just that one LRT, I was on 4 different ones on the weekend and every single one had the coupler panel in the open position on both ends. The only thing that I could think of is if the trains lost power in the event of ice build up on the catenary lines it would allow Keolis to easily tow the trains back since the coupler is accessible. However if one can open the coupler panel without the train having any power then that ideas completely wrong.
