In response to rampant fare evasion, the MTA announced it will install delayed egress gates at over 150 subway stations. These gates, operational at 70 locations currently, are designed to deter individuals from entering through emergency exits, which often facilitate fare avoidance. The initiative coincides with a reported 30% drop in fare evasion, attributed to increased fare compliance measures, resulting in higher fare revenue. The MTA aims to enhance operational funding through improved fare adherence as part of a broader anti-evasion strategy.
In a bid to counter the issue of fare evasion at subway stations, the MTA is set to install new delayed emergency exit portals at 150 locations.
The delayed egress gates, designed to discourage fare evasion, will have a 15-second delay before opening to prevent unauthorized entry.
