Do you think Swing doors at Metro Cars are ugly and unmodern?.

I dont like that new Metro Cars use swing doors since its ugly ,stupid and Dangerous.So why Especially european Metros dont build new Metro Cars with sliding doors since slinding doors looks great.futuristic and modern?.So the negative things of swing doors are

Pinch hazard

Risk of hands or clothing getting trapped

Delays caused by door malfunctions

Door blockage by objects

Higher maintenance requirements

Mechanical failures

Risk of injury due to improper use

More difficult exit during a malfunction

Risk from sudden door closing

Reduced evacuation safety in case of door failure

Therefore do you think swing doors are terrible?.I live in a City where Metro use swing doors and they have permamently delay Problems Sometimes they cant even Close normally and mechanicsl defunct.
