Some of the overground sections are covered in these plastic tunnels. As a passenger it’s a shame to miss the view - also I feel like an out of season strawberry.

These platform barriers are at many underground stations. I’m sure they are thoroughly tested but they look both not robust enough to stop me falling onto the track, but also hard enough to damage the fingers of a curious child or visiting transit nerd

I’ve been a bit skeptical of the potential of water transit. It’s slow, inefficient, doesn’t take most people where they want to be & is another excuse for politicians to carry on failing to build a bus lane.
If this cool thing can scale to solve the first two I guess there are places it can work.
