Recently saw a video about fare evasion in NYC metro and how they would adopt the same style of entry/exit gates as in Europe to combat this problem. I am surprised to see these type of gates still aren't evasion proof as you can see at 20:30. This person pushes through without paying, without a lot of effort it seems. Such a stark contrast to Japan’s and Taiwan’s systems where no doors or turnstiles exist. Just open pathways with ticket verification that relies only on the integrity of its society.

Hopefully they will upgrade these systems in all stations 🤞
are these trains automated?
No, They are not automated yet!! The new ones will likely be automated once the new lines are ready for use!
