Placing those barriers on the northbound platform will serve little purpose since most of the passenger traffic is from passengers leaving the trains and almost nobody waiting for the trains. Logic dictates that those barriers should have been installed on the SOUTHBOUND side. Even then, there is still sufficient room between the barrier and the platform edge for anyone bent on suicide. I looks to me that the MTA planners deliberately installed those barriers in such a way that after some sort of a test period, they will have been deemed to have failed the test or for some other reason the experiment will be considered a failure and not worthy of expansion to other locations. Typical of the MTA’s desire to not do anything it doesn’t want to so it can justify not doing it. |

They may deliberately being doing a test on an uncrowded platform first.2. Might the exit from the tunnel make the incoming train harder to see than at a typical station? |
