In short:

Footage has emerged of a moving Sydney Metro's carriage door being left wide open during Wednesday morning's commute.

The driverless metro service was running between Chatswood and Crows Nest about 8am.

What's next?

The incident is now under investigation, with the Rail, Tram and Bus Union calling on Sydney Metro to stop operations until interim safety measures are implemented.

I remember it happening often enough on Melbourne trains in the 90s/00s. Not often, but not a surprise that it happened. I suppose the headline "Passengers mildly concerned at train traveling with door open. Passengers apply common sense and keep away from the open door while the train is in motion" Isn't quite the same headline.
