These barriers are all pointless until the TTC can have automated train control. Until then we can't have any barriers as drivers would find it difficult to stop the train in the exact position to match the barrier openings.
1. Beijing has done it without ATC. It just takes a few weeks of practice.
The Jubillee Line in London, one line that a lot of people point at for platform screen doors, does not have ATC (or at least didn't until this year).
Amazing, eh?
It definitely slows down operation as the diver must pull into the station slower in order to stop in the right spot (they have about a one foot margin of error).
