I believe the reason it gets blocked is because morning passengers tend to open it and walk out without going through the ticket barriers in order to get on the East Point Bus quicker...
The problem is particularly bad when 2 DARTs arrive at the same time in the morning. The queue can be backed all the way back up the stairs. Who wants to queue to get out of a DART station, especially when the result is that you have to queue again for a bus!
About time an exit at the far end was provided, and people would walk to East Point!
