Put simply, we don't know enough about it because none of us (I assume) has intimate knowledge of the Jakata commuter lines. Certainly the tactic wouldn't work if lines are electrified, which seems like the commuter lines. The shots of the trains passing through the goalposts seem more like long distance trains.

Of course not, but this is still oppression, cruelty, yada yada.

In the UK they have done significant engineering to keep people off the (outside of the) train as well, like can be seen here.

It's the deep tunnels that get dug from one end (as opposed to cut and cover technique). Cheaper if you build the tunnels to be just the right size.

The trains that run just beneath street level aren't that tight - they are more like your standard US metro lines.

Of course they can't do that any more - emergency walkways capable of a wheelchair must be built!

The last time i was on the Tube was like 6 years ago.
On that occasion engineering works meant a simple journey from Waterloo to Liverpool Street required 6 changes instead of the usual 1
And i hate the tube. Its really cramped and it gave me claustrophobia (how do you spell it?)
