How about just using large strip curtains? Hang them from the ceiling and people can just push through them where the carriage doors stop. Should be cheap to install too.

That would neither really restrict airflow to the point where AC would be feasible, or prevent passengers from falling onto the tracks. Not sure what that would solve as a problem.

The large heavy strip curtains would restrict airflow, especially ones that are attached top and bottom. Yes they wouldn't stop people falling on the tracks, but a least they could be installed without costing billions.
