The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is expanding its fare enforcement efforts by installing new fare gates at 20 additional subway stations, following a reported 35% reduction in fare evasion since the rollout of similar technology at other locations. The move comes as part of a broader strategy to modernize transit security and improve revenue collection. The updated gates, equipped with advanced scanning technology, aim to further deter unauthorized entry while maintaining efficient passenger flow. Riders are advised to prepare for potential delays during installation phases at affected stations.
