What is the best word for the piece of fence-like structure in front of the seats right behind the rear door of a coach?

What I mean is the pair of seats not right behind another pair because of the interruption of the door near the back. And in front of them there is usually a piece of barrier. What is the best word for that barrier?

guard? fence? wall?

Thanks.

Answer

partition, divider, barrier, wall

Answer

I think 'barrier' is probably the most natural sounding word to use, although one could probably use 'divider' or 'barricade' as well, barrier just sounds more natural in that context.
