I really don't have a problem with this.
It's different, and sometimes when something is different it can cause a gut reaction that it's bad. I agree the first time I saw plexiglass between me and a driver in Toronto, that I thought it was unusual.
But the whole concept of the driver-slash-customer-service-agent is a bit weird to begin with. In ye olde days, you had a driver, and an attendant. The driver was able to be separate from the riders, and focus on driving. If this gives the drivers the opportunity to focus better on driving when they should be driving, then I'm happy for them.
I would prefer the moveable shield. I know that some drivers prefer them, because they want to be able to interact with people.
