Another person pushed off the platform into the path of an approaching train in the USA. It doesn't happen in Singapore. Singapore's station platforms are glassed in. The doors giving access to trains open automatically only after the train stops.

Time for New York stations to get an upgrade. Yes, of course it will cost money. Time for a couple of multi millionaires, some insurance companies, the United Nations, and crowd-funding to invest in an upgrade.

Upgrading works can be done at night.
One of the lessons learned from travel.
