MTA TESTS PILOT PROGRAM INVOLVING SUBWAY STATIONS' EMERGENCY GATES TO STOP FARE
EVASION


THE IDEA IS THAT IF THE GATE TAKES LONGER TO OPEN, FEWER PEOPLE WILL LEAVE
THROUGH THAT EXIT — MEANING FARE BEATERS WON'T BE ABLE TO WALK IN

BY ROMNEY SMITH AND NBC NEW YORK STAFF • PUBLISHED JANUARY 30, 2024 • UPDATED 3
HOURS AGO



Eduardo Munoz Alvarez/VIEWpress

NEW YORK – NEW YORK – JUNE 5: People go through the exit door without paying the
MTA fare at a subway station in middle Manhattan on June 5, 2023 in New York
City.

More changes are coming to subway stations across New York City, as special
emergency gates are set to go up in an effort to stop fare beating.

Almost anyone who has taken the subway has likely seen someone use the emergency
gate to exit the subway platform, then one or more people use the open gate to
walk on to the subway platform without paying. Riders skip out on the $2.90 fare
happens so frequently, the MTA has said it costs the agency hundreds of millions
of dollars.

That's the reasoning behind the new pilot program that will be starting in
February.

WHY NYC'S SUBWAY IS STRUGGLING

Three subway stations — the 59th Street station on the 4/5/6 lines in midtown
Manhattan, the 138th Street-Third Avenue station on the 6 line in the Bronx, and
the Flushing Avenue station on the J/M/Z lines — will have emergency gates that
have 15-second delays.

The idea is that if the gate takes longer to open, fewer people will leave
through that exit — meaning fare beaters won't be able to walk in.

For wondering why those three stations in particular were selected, it's because
they have plenty of turnstiles for people to exit in case of an actual
emergency.

There are also new metal barriers which are part of the barrier fin pilot
program. They have been installed at the Lexington Avenue/59th Street station so
people cant hop over the turnstiles and avoid the toll.

MTA officials say whether it involves hopping over a turnstile, shimmying
through a backstop, or tricking the new gate hand sensor, the agency is
diligently working to make sure everyone pays.
