US Edition20 Subway Stations Will Get New Fare Evasion Gates This Fall, MTA Says
- The MTA will install new fare evasion gates at 20 subway stations across New York City starting this fall.
- This installation follows ongoing efforts to reduce fare evasion, a problem that has cost the MTA about $700 million in recent years.
- Four vendors—Conduent, Cubic, Scheidt & Bachmann, and STraffic—will each test their gate models at five stations, including major hubs like Atlantic Ave-Barclays Center and 14 St-Union Square.
- MTA officials reported a 30% subway fare evasion decline since last July and emphasized that new gates are "cutting-edge" and designed to be harder to jump, hold open, or force open.
- These measures, paired with enforcement and fare payment simplification, suggest continued reductions in fare evasion and support the MTA's goal to upgrade 150 stations within five years.
