Some stations in paris have barriers between the platforms and tracks. They have doors that open and close in sync with the train doors. Should be standard sadly.

[@EdwardM-t8p]

Should be but the column spacing clashes with the door spacing plus the MTA doesn't have the gigabucks for it. ☹️

[@KyrilPG]

It's in all stations of fully automated driverless lines 1, 4, and 14. Also in most and busiest stations of semi automated line 13. All 4 new driverless lines 15, 16, 17 and 18, will have complete floor to ceiling platform screen doors in all stations. Line 11, which was recently extended and doubled in length, also had all its station platforms prepared for future installation of PSD's in view of its future switch to driverless automation. Such equipment is being studied on pretty much all other lines. The main issue in NYC is that everything costs much more, for no good reason, than anywhere else. A basic light rail line there costs as much, or more, than a full-fledged deep underground subway in Paris or Madrid...

Hit and miss everywhere these days, even on the trains here in Sydney, people suffering more mental issues or substance abuse. As John McClane would say Wrong Place, Wrong Time. Just have to be vigilent and stay safe

[@Fcreceptor]

Part of me doesn’t understand why it’s like this all over the world. Part of me thinks it’s the normalization of mental illness and hands off approach to substance abuse. We use to marginalize drug users and those who were aberrant. The internet helped push abnormal behavior into the realm of socially acceptable. When I was a kid in the 80s you didn’t see home.less people all over town. Now they’re all over and those who use to be run off are now allowed to just go anywhere. I’m old school, but I firmly believe people belong where they belong, and that is not wherever the hell they want. (This comment will be removed I’m sure)

[@mikepulsic9826]

What's going on now pales in comparison to 1980's. Everyone has a cellphone and access to social media so every incident is dialed up 100%.

[@marklane5372]

I think you have a good point, back in the day there were no cameras/smart phones so a lot of these antics would go undocumented. I am sure this kind of stuff has gone on for decades but it is just more visible now.

[@greenhotel7445]

I was thinking that as well.I’m sure this stuff was happening in the 70s 80s and 90s however if you lived elsewhere like Ohio or other states you wouldn’t have heard about it. The only people who would have known were people who read the newspapers or watched the news on TV in NYC.

Whenever anyone is taking a subway anywhere, always keep your back against a wall and stay alert of what is happening on both sides of you. The same for while on a subway. Sure, you can listen to music, just be aware with your eyes and don't have it so loud that you can't hear something reasonably loud going on around you. I used to stand at the end of the car over near the luggage area between the cars rather than sit. The fact that the cops did nothing to help that woman is ridiculous.

It’s sad that NYers are now forced to take the dirty, dangerous, and unreliable subway with congestion tolls. I’m thankful that I don’t live there.

I commuted on the 1 train for years. The PA directive to be 'alert and aware of your surroundings' is spot on, though likely ignored by many. If you are alert/aware while riding the NY subways then, it'll largely be an uneventful experience 99% of the time.

The same events happen in Los Angeles every day now. Most of our subways are above ground, but it's still the same type of behavior as New York. We call them rolling homeless encampments. They just ride around and around all day and night. We don't use them anymore, we are lucky enough to have a nice car.

As a west coaster I've traveled many times to New York City as a tourist. I've only ever had any problems one time, and that was the most recent time, in December 2022. We were on our way to Radio City Music Hall and one block away we got stuck in a human traffic jam. We were like sardines, and we simply could not get to the curb to cross the street. We eventually pushed our way out toward the side and got out of there. I've never seen anything like it but it was pretty scary. As for the subways, I've often seen crazy types but never had any issues with them myself. In fact I like the subways, since they're convenient and most people are just normal people. minding their business, going from point A to point B. They can be very crowded but that's expected with mass transit in a big city.

10:08 "all in all, it's not that bad of a place." So is it safe to call the title/thumbnail sensationalized clickbait?

[@pi-sx3mb]

I grew up in and around the NYC area in the '60's - '80's. Even in the '70's when the city got pretty rough and the subways were disgusting and covered with graffiti, there was an expectation that lawbreakers, if caught, would suffer a consequence. Given the lawless sh*thole it has become, I never go back anymore, even just to visit. FTR, anyone who stands on a subway platform when a train is pulling in without something solid behind them like a wall, a sign, or even a pillar is crazy. Unless it's deserted of course, but still scan your surroundings and what/who is behind or near you. Vigilance is free.
