Transit / Re: Would You Accept Screen Doors For The NYCTA?
« on: January 03, 2011, 05:13:50 pm »
Some pros and cons of screen doors.
The screen doors would enhance the station looks if they look modern enough. They will provide safety to all communters also. This also lets the passengers know where the doors will be located at when the train comes, if they don't, that is.
However, in some instances they may fail, such that it fails to open or close. Sometimes it may cause major delays. If it cracks, it might injure communters as well. Screen doors will look ugly if they get vandalized and stuff.
If it's properly maintained and cleaned, I'd say a yes to this question.
Screen doors did break before in Singapore actually... it did crack before.
...and when they fail to operate properly

Seeing how people act on the subway today, i can see glass doors to be a huge failure. Cracking would be rampant.
