Not at street-level stops when the operator is determined to collect every fare from every rider.

Obviously, this is anecdotal based on my experience. When I take the C/D lines (especially C), I would ballpark that all doors open about 97% of the time. It is rare that I see an operator only open the front doors.

When I first moved here and was taking D line from Brookline, everyone would hold up their hand in the air and the driver would open all the doors and we would shuffle in. About a week later I realized they were holding their passes up and I had been riding for free lol.
