These train cars are a good idea in a society where there’s an expectation of order and decent behavior on public transportation, but since we’ve decided that doesn’t matter it’s not going to work out well.

Exactly. In Tokyo, where I grew up, I could travel on the subway by myself at the age of 9 and nobody so much as litters in the tracks let alone misbehave inside a train. We lack civility and decency in NYC, which is why this new type of train will be beset by people problems

The other day someone got on the train, knife in hand, and everyone from that car was able to leave that one and close off the door from him until the following stop where the police were waiting.

I think it makes the trains safer. No more being isolated from other passengers.
