Safety advocates say that adding platform barrier doors — seen in transit hubs like London and many U.S. airports — can help save people from ending up on subway tracks, and it’s not a new idea. But the MTA said that the idea wouldn’t work. Though some believe if there's a will, there's a way. The new push for safety comes after Michelle Go was pushed to her death in front of a subway train at the Times Square station Saturday.
