Building Toronto
The problem is not necessarily that there are thousands of them, the problem is that thousands of them are spread over hundreds of train car, which cannot be out of service at once, or probably even in a convenient order. So it will take a lot of shifts to remove them all.So, self-contradictory. Thirty seconds x thousands of barriers = a lot of work.
I see no bit head on the pins into the armrest so they might be bolted from underneath.
If Metrolinx did cite the reason for not doing this as it being "a lot of work", that really says a lot about the ambition and competence of the organization. After all, they presumably clean and maintain these same thousand or so cars on a regular basis, but removing some plexiglass is a big problem?
