The widths are fixed depending on the line and there isn't usually more than three car variants using any given line. Those that have common door patterns can easily have barriers. Worst case, they'd have to give up the nostalgia rides on the old rolling stock.

As for the second point, sure — because there are currently 3 different door layouts on the A system and 3 on the B system. But those layouts are all freely mixed across lines right now. Even if they were not, interlining means trains of different lengths will be stopping at the same platform, which means incompatibility. I suggest skimming the MTA report linked in the article, it goes into quite a lot of detail on this, including diagrams.
- kevin_thibedeau 3y agoThe number lines (A division) are narrower than the letter lines (B division). The cars that run on each can't be mixed. This is a consequence of IRT being narrower than the BMT and IND lines.
