"The MTA introduced the third and final model of its potential new subway fare gate designs this week, kicking off its citywide gate remodel at the 23rd Street-Baruch College station, on the 6 train line. The new gates, aimed at clamping down on fare evasion and turnstile jumping, are part of a pilot program testing new models at 20 subway stations."
"The MTA has contracted three vendors STraffic, Conduent, and Cubic to implement designs at 20 stations throughout the city a process that began last year. The MTA is intermittently closing some station entrances for implementation. After the MTA selects a vendor, or vendors, it will install the new gates at 150 stations across the five boroughs. The stations will be selected based on ridership, fare evasion rates, accessibility needs, and whether they are deemed a major transit hub, according to the MTA's website."

The gates aim to clamp down on fare evasion and turnstile jumping and feature modern tall glass doors that open down the middle.
