Barriers Needed |

Posted by MATHA531 on Fri Dec 28 05:50:51 2012 I get it. Believe me I do. It would be prohibitively expensive to fully enclose the subway tracks with floor to ceiling barriers for the reasons everybody has mentioned. But with all the nuts around, something just has to be done.I was very impressed last year riding the Metro in Paris and on the #1 line, probably the oldest metro line in existance, they have put up fences between the platforms and the tracks. It would be nice for the gates on the fences to coincide where the doors are but not absolutely necessary. When the train arrives in the station, even if the doors don't match up, open the gates. When the train doors close, the passenges are required to step back to the other side of the fence before the doors close and the train leaves the station. It can be logistically figured out. It can be done. It has to be done before the next copy cat pushing off the platform occurs. Just too many nuts around. |
