A Design Crime – How Not To Design Platform Edge Doors

I took these pictures on Metro Line 1, which has some stations with platform edge doors.

Unlike all others I’ve seen, they are only half height and the thick pillars partially obscure the view of the station from inside the train. As there is no station display inside the train, which can be seen from most seats, these doors meant that I missed my stop.
