@melonseiiLOVE "Western countries are...unwilling to do so" -Sydney, Vienna, Copenhagen, Toronto, Paris, Turin, Venice, Milan, Barcelona, Lausanne, London all have platform screen doors on part of their systems, but rarely on all of it. These systems were often designed and built long before screen doors were invented. It is not always easy (or even possible) to retro-fit screen doors on an older system.

I thought about that, too. Some cities like Copenhagen have platform screen doors, but older systems often don't. Apparently, it can be prohibitively expensive to retrofit partitions if the station was not designed for them in the first place.

@cyrusmarikitph What? Who's taking about traveling? This topic is about platform screen doors in metro systems. It's a technical issue, not related to racism.

@melonseiiLOVE It's often only the newer lines that have them. The reason cities are slow to retro-fit screens may be because there are very few accidents/crimes of people falling onto the tracks. That's probably different from city to city.

@QuarioQuario54321 "Sydney is not western". Australia and New Zealand have the distinction of being the only Western countries located in the far east.🤣🤣🤣

@QuarioQuario54321 We can agree on that.
