Makes me wonder just how qualified you really are to write on this blog if you didn't even understand how platform screen doors worked. Unfortunately, you probably helped delay the implementation of these screen doors, which also happen to save lives. Improving the MTA and other subway systems across the US is pretty damn simple. Go to Asia, ride their trains, and copy every damn thing they do. they move millions more people daily than US subway systems and are decades ahead of us. Yes, I said decades. Because that's how long it will take to get platform screen doors in the US. You really missed the ball with your original post ridiculing platform doors.

It makes for a pleasant environment and after having ridden the NYC subways, I would rather deal with hordes of Chinese on the subway than suffer the heat of the NYC subways.
