> Yes, slowing down native users of public transportation because of tourists is a big, popular movement in places like Paris. /s

This argument falls flat give Japan's transit is infinitely more efficient and handles far more people than Paris. No one is slowed down by Japan's system.

No, it is not. You simply cannot claim a gate-less system can be slower than one with gates. It is physically impossible, as you're literally removing the potential for bottleneck.

Your generic comparison is moot anyway, because in Paris the normal metro system has had barriers since forever. It is the regional train system which used not to have gates.
