A lady wearing purple scrubs, a blue jacket, and a purple knit cap boards at Coliseum station and promptly sits on top of the indication. She offboards the train at West Oakland station never having noticed the indication. The indication remains in place, a bit more wrinkled but otherwise unmolested.

At Montgomery Street station, a gentleman boards, taking a seat next to the indication. He opens a newspaper, briefly scans it, and then puts it down and stares off into space.
