      From: dannyb@panix.com              After decades of saying this is impossible, they've       just announced they'll be testing out automatic       sliding doors at three stations:              [ny post]               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.        ======       rest:       https://nypost.com/2022/02/23/mta-to-test-shove-preventing-barri       rs-at-nyc-subway-stops/              _____________________________________________________       Knowledge may be power, but communications is the key        dannyb@panix.com       [to foil spammers, my address has been double rot-13 encoded]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
