I don't know the actual reason for the long dwell times, but I have to imagine it has something to do with avoiding the door faults that plagued the system in the early going. I recall back in 2019 it would take people a lot of time to alight/board during rush hour and some folks would inevitably force the doors open when they closed too soon, causing door faults. Assuming the dwell times are the same throughout the day, they are probably set to accommodate rush hour crush loads and not the off peak ridership.
