Why Doesn't New York City's Subway Have Protective Barriers?
Matt Schiavenza Nov 16 2014, 6:27 PM ET
Early Sunday morning in the Bronx, 61-year-old Wai Kuen Kwok and his wife
entered the 167 St. subway station in order to head to Manhattan's Chinatown
for breakfast. They never made it. An unknown assailant shoved the couple
in front of an oncoming southbound D train. Kwok was killed. His wife, who
survived uninjured, was taken to the hospital for an evaluation. Police are
still investigating the identity of the assailant, who boarded a Bx35 bus
immediately after exiting the station.
Every year, around 50 people lose their lives in the New York City subway
system. The majority of these are suicides and most of the others are
accidental falls. Incidents like Kwok's are extremely rare: His was the
first such death since December 2012, when Erika Menendez shoved a man of
South Asian decent in front of an oncoming 7 train in Queens. Menendez was
later convicted of murder and a hate crime.
Despite the unlikelihood of dying in the subway system, cities like Shanghai
, Tokyo, and Paris have invested in barriers that open only when trains
enter the station. New York City, though, is unlikely to follow suit.
The main problem, as usual, is money. Plastic barriers are very expensive,
and would cost about $1 million per subway station. For New York's
perennially cash-strapped Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the cost of
installing barriers in each of the city's 468 stations would be prohibitive
. Even then, engineers claim that installing the system would be
logistically difficult due to physical differences in the trains and
stations.
In lieu of making changes, the city has resorted to telling people not to
worry about it. In 2013, then-mayor Michael Bloomberg dismissed the idea of
installing the barriers.
"It is such a rare occurrence that no matter how tragic it is, it shouldn't
change our lifestyle," he said. | c***T
