I know it's asking a lot but all go train stations should have an invisible fence at the yellow line but instead of a shock an air horn sounds so people know (even though they already should) that they are so close to danger. Where are the people monitoring cameras that should make announcements when people do this, I know when I am at Exhibition Station the attendant in the booth will make an announcement when they spot someone smoking on the platform which is minor when compared to track crossing.
I saw a crowd of Chilean fans do that during the Pan Am games. They realized they were on the wrong platform so they simply crossed two tracks to get to the correct one. There were 15 or so in the crowd.
When people tried to explain to not do that, they all suddenly couldn't speak English.
