   After decades of saying this is impossible, they've   
   just announced they'll be testing out automatic   
   sliding doors at three stations:

     MTA to test shove-preventing barriers at three NYC subway stops   
      
   Subway platform barriers will be tested at three stations in Manhattan and   
   Queens, MTA Chair Janno Lieber said on Wednesday.   
      
   The new shove-preventing barriers will be installed at Times Square on the   
   7 line, Third Avenue on the L line and Sutphin Boulevard/JFK Airport at   
   the end of the E line, Lieber said during an appearance on NY1.   
      
   Lieber and his team previously studied and ruled out platform doors as   
   part of the MTA's current capital improvement plan. That changed after   
   the January 15 murder of Michelle Go, who was pushed onto the tracks in   
   the Times Square station by a mentally ill homeless man.
