Why do you want plug doors on a rapid transit service? Usually their advantage is that they offer better insulation in cold areas and better sound-proofing in suburban and intercity service. But their disadvantages are that they have a more complex mechanism which take slightly longer to open/close and which is more prone to breaking (particularly when people forcefully prevent them from closing). Plus they're heavier and more expensive. So sliding doors are usually considered as good or better for an application like this. I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
