Most automated fare gates in Japan are actually open and doors only close when it detects that someone is trying to pass thru without paying. This gets at the very core of the problem: YOU CAN'T SOLVE FARE EVASION WITH TECHNOLOGY. It begins with cultural expectations.

I agree that reliable service and safety should always be the top priority, but at the same time, the MTA's (insufficient) attempt to combat fare evasion IS part of an overall effort to obtain the means to achieve and maintain a good state of repair on the subway; $690 million in lost revenue every year is not insignificant. BTW those digital advertising screens actually provide a stream of revenue for the MTA.

As someone who has lived in NYC for over 10 years, I've noticed a significant uptick in turnstile hopping starting about a year and a half ago. I used to see it sometimes, but now I always see it. It's not who you think, but well-dressed people in nice neighborhoods. It seems to be much more normalized and less shameful. I've watched MTA employees and cops watch people do this without batting an eye. It makes me think there is a change in policy or enforcement and feel like a sucker for still paying as fees continue to increase.

But its crazy what you can get away with. I currently no not pay mta a dime, and do it consistently almost everyday without getting caught, or the cops are there, but dont care.

Only the larger spinning gates for normal people and a Guard to allow people through a bypass (like the disabled and people too obese to fit through) would actually make anyone think twice. In the mechanical sense. The other issue is that NY actively Doesn't give a shite at all about the law in the first place. It's becoming more lawless by the day and those who follow the law do so at the active detriment to themselves. You say anything against criminals and you get black knights jumping down your through "who cares about the million dollar company? If you see someone steal, no you didn't.

The MTA officials' comment about wanting to see how effectively they work in a real-life situation is ridiculous. If you want to see the new turnstiles in action travel to a city that already has them deployed and observe them BEFORE signing a contract and installing them. The municipality currently using them should also have data on how effective they are over time, how prone they are to repair, and to what extent the investment recouped the financial loss from evasion. Then (and only then) should NYC based tests be conducted, including (as you suggest) including paid consultants with expertise in evading fares. The Office of the New York City Comptroller as well as the press should be all over this story. It reeks of possible corruption, which is exactly why it will get swept under the rug (or on the tracks).

So for people traveling from up town, whose commute is 40+ minutes daily, the likely hood of sitting has dropped dramatically. And for my evening commute I travel with a 6 year old who is exhausted and has to stand.

The goal is to increase ridership, not ensure more people can have a seat. If the majority of people on the train don’t get seats anyway, then it makes sense to take out seats to make room for more riders. With the way people squeeze in, really don’t think people care as much about seats as they do simply getting on. If it weren’t the case, you’d see loads of people letting trains pass just to get a less crowded one with seats.

London have such low fare evasion compared to New York because the gates do not open automatically when exiting as you have to "Tap" to Start and End your journey. In New York for fare evaders all they have to do is plan their entrance into the subway as their exit is pretty much automatic. London forces you to go through two of these checkpoints as so its less desirable to skip a fare. Tailgating is less common when your exit is not guaranteed

Just simply have a free per person system, and continue to collect fares to continue paying for repairs. Boston has this issue with fare evasion and people using emergency gates to exit. But not stealing trains, we've had people break in to booths and hijack the microphone and speakers.

I am reminded of a vlog that I watched about a guy taking train trips across the US. In southern Florida there is a privately owned train company that offered fairs for under $20. The trains were very well maintained and snacks were included. The same trip with Amtrak was way more expensive. The trains were run down and no snacks included. The difference was Amtrak is federal so the money keeps coming no matter what. The private owned has to work for your business to keep the company operational. With no tax dollars they are forced to be responsible.

BART in the Bay Area has add really tall ADA compliant fare gates similar to the MTA’s fare gates at it’s West Oakland Station to prevent similar types of fare evasion along with the police.MTA needs to take note of the size of the gates over at BART. Not saying that are fare evasion proof, because they are suffering with non fare paying runners too.the gates aren’t exactly evasion proof, but the opening of the gates open and close a little faster preventing a large number of people from getting through. One person can slip in after a fare paying person, but the gates have cut down fare evasion,BART is trying. They are working on perfecting these new gates before moving on to other stations. MTA might want talk to them.

1. You buy a badge that opens a door. Credit them a ride or dollar amount to incentivize it. 2. You step into a small cage and close the door behind you. 3. Once the door is closed behind you the payment process takes place. You won’t be able to pay unless the door behind you is locked shut. There won’t be enough room for multiple people to follow behind the paying customer. They can’t hold the door open or else payment will be denied.

These are the same gates as in the UK; and they don't stop people tailgating.

The gates are provided by the same company which provides the OMNY system for the MTA - Cubic Also, the train thefts will have managed to get hold of control keys to access the cab and key into the unit...maybe a former employee..who knows.

Those gates do need work, but they do need live people monitoring them as well. As you pointed out people fare evading through all three types of gate, so it doesn't matter what they use, some one has found a way around the process. Raise the fines for fare evasion, with late fees added and mandatory community service also added for the first time your caught. Jail or something similar if your caught again or if your caught lining to police about who you are to avoid being prosecuted for even the first offense. Heck make the community service having to scrub the bathrooms in the subway for a month, if someone has to put in work to clean up after those who well trash it. It might give them incentive to be part of the solution even if a small part. (And yes for those reading, I am trying to be optimistic. )

Where I live the the public transit with multiple lines that even reaches multiple other cities is fully funded by companies that have an interest in it existing. It's after all good for business. So the sports arena, expo center, airport, even a lot of businesses pay so much to the public transport company that it not only survived covid with 0 government or city funding, we have some of the nicest trams and buses in the state. There's no fare gates and barely any people checking for tickets. In a city at it's limit what car infrastructure can take, trains and public transport, especially intercity, are great for business and companies as well as cities need to start seeing that. It makes events more accessible to many people when you skip the stress and fuel cost/need for a car.

Many trains in the EU actually have a system to prevent passing a signal at danger (SPAD) called an AWS system (Automatic Warning System) which will stop the trains and activate the emergency brake to prevent a collision. This system also warns the driver when approaching a preliminary caution (double yellow) and caution (yellow) signals. If being updated, it might be a good idea for NYC to include in newer trains if possible...?
@TonyP9279

NYT has brake trips on the side of the track near the aspect signal. If the signal is all red, the brake trip (which looks like a handle) rises up so if the train tries to move past it, it trips the brake system on the train. It may be some trackage that don't have them but it seems most of the tracks in the Manhattan and Brooklyn parts do.

While fare evasion is certainly a problem for the MTA, the claim that it is the source of the Subway's problems like people recklessly driving trains and the dirty/deteriorating stations is ludicrous and not backed with any evidence whatsoever. $690 Million is roughly 3% of the MTA's annual operating budget. Fare evasion is a problem, but its more of a symptom of poor management and lack of resources than a cause. Decades of poor funding for the MTA are why the infrastructure is crumbling, not people hopping fare gates.

I live in Japan, which has a simple system to stop crime. It is called “law enforcement.” If you break the law in Japan, you are arrested. You are not released, you cannot bail out, you stay in jail until you serve your time, are exonerated, or the charges are dropped. If you steal a bottle of water, you face 3 to 5 weeks of jail for your first offense. Japan punishes first offenders harshly so they don’t become multiple offenders. In America, your typical criminal will have been arrested an average of 9 times before actually serving a real jail sentence.
