Platform screen doors are pretty much standard on new metro lines in Europe and Asia nowadays, and many cities have retrofitted old lines to add platform screen doors. North America is unique in not moving in this direction--the only project with them on the continent I'm aware of is the new Honolulu automated metro.

The Toronto Ontario Line is meant to have them, however knowing Toronto, it will probably be 2050 before it's finished.
