Yup, the less mechanical the better.

Once the 75's are gone and all of the cars have their doors in the same place again, we can consider railings that are simply open where the doors line up. That will protect 60% of the platform edge and people who like the security they offer will lien up behind them, and those who want to jump in front of a train will still be able to do so.

But with over 1100 platform edges, the MTA will NEVER get around to protecting them all no matter what system they use, and the Jumpers will be able to find an open platform anytime they want one.

You would be better off putting stickers reminding people to stand back from the edge of the platform, and include a suicide hotline number.
