St Petersburg, platform steel doors

Metro Bits http://mic-ro.com/metro/ Train doors are closing first, then the black platform steel doors (hardly visible because a woman walks past in precisely that moment). The steel doors in this station and a couple of others are there for constructional reasons. They are unique in the world since other cities have either platform screen doors made of glass or no platform doors at all.

The steel doors are great - for some amusing reason it reminds me of the iron curtain.

Not suicides. Floods. they are frequent as St.Petersburg is located in flood risk zone.

lol. Whats with the steel doors? Why not Platform screen doors? I understand that those solid doors and covered walls prevent suicides. But why is it so tight? How are people able to see the platform during an emergency when there are no tunnel lights? (guessing).
