San Francisco Muni Installs Between-Car Barriers
In an effort to increase passenger safety, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) recently installed between-car barriers at the ends of its Muni Metro light rail vehicles, covering the gap between two connected trains and preventing riders from inadvertently stepping or falling between adjoined cars.
One challenge SFMTA technical staff overcame was to install a high-tension spring that would allow for both expansion up to 13 feet and retraction as two-car trains navigate tight turns.
