From the article:

The episode was also far from unusual.... There were nearly 900 incidents last year...

There are many reasons people end up on the tracks: Passengers are drunk, confused or urinating, or they drop something and try to retrieve it on their own. Escaped prisoners have even climbed on the rails. In a small number of horrifying cases, someone is pushed off the platform.

Subway leaders do not know for certain why the incidents have increased, though they speculate it may be in part because of the many homeless people who frequent the system or the ubiquity of expensive smartphones that drop to the tracks. Last year, only 43 of the incidents were believed to be suicides or attempted suicides....

“I have little sympathy for those who think it’s funny to go run around the tracks or who go down to urinate,” [said Andy Byford, "the subway’s leader"]. “I have no sympathy for them because it causes huge delays.”

From the comments at the NYT:

[In] China, the subways have a wall of plexiglass between the platform riders and trains, as do airport shuttles in the US. Is it really that much of a reach for the greatest city in the world to adopt this 25-year old technology?
