"MTA Introduces Safety Barriers at 191st Street Station in Manhattan"
The MTA has installed platform barriers at the 191st Street subway station in Manhattan as part of a platform safety pilot program, with plans to potentially expand the technology citywide. The barriers aim to prevent track intrusions while allowing safe passenger circulation. The pilot program also includes the West 8th Street - NY Aquarium and Clark Street stations, with a fourth station yet to be disclosed. The MTA used existing resources and in-house labor for the construction, and if successful, the barriers could be widely deployed.
