This is true, but only democrats have unlimited taxing and fare raising powers to pay for all of this innovation. Sure it is all nice, it is also all very expensive. Adaptive door locations are not necessary since the fleet will be 100% R160 types by the time anything could be built system wide anyway.Downtown stations would need such gates on all platforms. Outlying stations only need them on the Manhattan bound platforms, for that is where people wait for trains. They do not wait in large numbers for other outbound trains. Tomorrow (if you wanted to) you could put all of the 75' cars in the 8th Avenue line and make Bway and 6th Ave exclusively 60' cars, and start building the barriers there. By the time you get to 8th Avenue, the 75s will be long gone. LION says put up plain pipe built fences leaving the doorways open. That will be a sufficient start. More can be built after NYCT wins the lottery. ROAR |
