Screen doors as in some of the London Tube? That would be a waste of money considering the many other improvements required in the MTA. Even these barriers seem pointless, it's not like people are falling in... The issue is random people pushing others or committing suicide or subway surfing, all rare events that are unlikely to be prevented with these barriers...

It’s simply at the moment not possible. There is rarely a common subway car on any given line. The A & C for example runs the R46 (for now) along with the R179 and new R211A/T. While the 179 and 211 are roughly the same with 60 ft long cars, the R46 are 75 foot long cars. Another example is 6th Avenue, while the F & M run 60 ft R160s, the B & D run 75 ft R68s. There is also a chance for the driver to mess up as in order to get aligned with the screen doors, the train would have to make a near perfect stop. Then there are also platform curves like 14 St-Union Sq. Platform Screen doors will really only exist if a line is converted to CBTC and runs on ATO like the L.

As much as the program is nice, it's gonna be an issue for these reasons: The barriers still have a huge gap and people can still walk on the platform edge and the risk of falling on the subway tracks is still high. Clark St and West 8th St serve different subway routes, and the 2/3/F/Q's subway car sets are different, as the 2/3 use 51 foot long cars and use two different subway cars, the R142 and R62, which may be a little bit of an issue for the barriers. The F won't have an issue since all it uses are R160's, which are 60 feet long, the Q will have an issue however, as during AM rush hours, it uses R160's, when it's normal sets are the R46 and R68/A, both of which are 75 feet long, which can lead to an issue with the barriers.

Honestly, I'm happy the US is getting something instead of nothing.

Some individuals are expressing their discontent with a recent development that could potentially have negative impacts on railfanning. This is because the new development involves a restriction on how close people can get to the tracks. However, it is important to note that this is not a complete ban on railfanning. In fact, people can still observe trains from a distance and get a decent view. The primary concern is that this new restriction may prevent people from getting a closer and more detailed view of the trains, which has been a key aspect of railfanning for many enthusiasts. Nonetheless, safety measures must be prioritized to ensure that railfanning remains a safe and enjoyable activity for everyone involved.

There is an opening still no matter what if the train doesn’t arrive, things can still happen. Automated gates when the train arrives is what we need like the JFK air train, this will avoid any track incident with people.

you can fall in the gaps...?

They want to test cross-compatibility with both the R62 and R142s. You know those R62/A 2 trains that show up when Lenox service is shut down? They want to be prepared for that.

I do think that this is a good step in the right direction but the next step to making this even better is standardizing door placements on your new stock to make this more effective. Many people complain that platform screen doors should really be the move and I do agree to a certain extent. Maybe have platform screen doors on stations which easily allow installation of PSD's while also having this platform barrier program on stations that would be costly to completely redo to retrofit PSD's. (and while you're at it, when our stations eventually become in dire need of complete restoration, we can design the stations to fully accomodate PSD's :)

The barriers should be placed closer to the platform edge itself, someone could easily fall onto the tracks or get pushed if they are standing behind the barriers, they are a least 1 or two feet from the real edge of the platform.

What I fail to understand is why the MTA refuses to install platform screen doors, platform edge gates or their alternatives. If the older stations’ platforms are unable to handle their weight, you can still install platform edge bars (found at some train stations in Japan and China) which are much lighter and able to accomodate different train sets with different door configurations as they are wide metal bars instead of being a door or a gate. Also, MTA argues that they can’t install platform edge gates at curved stations simply because the platforms are curved and they don’t fit. Perhaps the management at MTA are ignorant but there are modern metro systems around the world where they have curved platforms with platform doors. (Hong Kong’s MTR, London’s Elizabeth Line, Chongqing’s CRT, Taipei’s MRT, etc.)

@@AndrewTheRadarMan This may not be worth it for the MTA since they are planning to get rid of their 75 feet long subway cars. Every single subway car order for the B division since the new millennium has been 60 feet cars. In addition, there’s also other issues unique to the NYC subway, starting with the fact that nearly all stations have load bearing columns directly along the yellow platform edge. No way to move them without risking the station collapsing. In short, structural issues have to be dealt with. These yellow barriers are a decent start and there should be some longer term solution to address this.

Bring back the ESI program instead of the half-done "Re-NEW-vation" nonsense.

There are still the gaps in between, people can still jump on the tracks. They are not going to be effective unless we put automated gates in those gaps that open and close with the train doors, then it will be much more effective. And also have beeps and flashing lights to indicate when the platform gates and train doors are closing. They could also be retrofitted with the platform gap fillers at curved stations. Just this small improvement will make it even safer. I also think this should be done as part of the CBTC upgrades to the lines and incorporated into the design of phase 2 of the second Avenue subway and the Interborough Express. Lines such as IRT Lexington Avenue and IND Queens Blvd as well as the Times Square shuttle could really use these. Also though not the mta, the path should also use this as it gets extremely crowded.
