Interesting but no time soon... At least thinking ahead.

Nothing unusual.  Kotoden used to have similar cars without doors between the cars.

 

 

Toronto got the idea from rapid transit trains in Asia.

Why does it seem to me that this is a poorly written article? Articulation (jacobs bogies) is not a prerequisite for free movement between cars.  Covered gangwayed stock is AFAIK the standard in most places in the world and has been for decades, if not a century.  Interestingly, the trend in Japan is to keep the covered gangways, but to install a sliding door on metro stock, as an anti-fire measure, due to the experience of the high fatality 2003 Daegu Metro Fire in S. Korea.

Singapore, all the trains are artics. Wish we had that on metro.
