And yet the NYC/NYS/MTA political establishment can't grasp why the NYC middle-class is abandoning the subway system as much as is possible. Work From Home has liberated a lot of the NYC (and suburban) middle-class from daily contact with the subways.
And that same political establishment can't understand why more New Yorkers are buying cars now. 52.3% of outer borough households own a car - http://u.pc.cd/p6k
In the strict sense yes. However, there's always makeshift things we can do. Why not simply erect a low tech barrier made of plexiglass or something that at least creates some type of buffer? It doesn't have to be perfect, just enough to make this type of situation less possible.
Might seem simple but how would the barrier open up if there are 2 completely different types of rolling stock operating the B division, with completely different door spacing.

Worse yet, they're trying to force through congestion pricing, presumably to get even more people on the dirty, unreliable, unsafe subways (?)
