Not from Vancouver but this seems like a good idea. Is track invasion a common enough problem to justify the cost in your experience?

A few weeks back I was out with my kids and heard about someone jumping in front of the train that day.

All I could think was: what if a kid was sitting up front enjoying the ride and looking at the tracks? How would I deal with that if it were my kid?

Sounds like a justified cost to me.

Gotta be honest, I didn’t even think about people killing themselves I was thinking more people trying to do graffiti. Yeah that seems a justified cost

I’ve definitely seen trains get stopped for such reasons… I really feel for the people who have to clean it up.

Seems harder to pull someone off the tracks with these in place.

I also hear people with no easy options will still find a way to accomplish their last goals.

How are they going to end up on the tracks? Doors open after train stops and closes before train starts.
