BART is in the process of modernizing its fare gates across all stations, starting with the North Berkeley station and expanding to others by summer. The outdated orange gates, which were easy to bypass, will be replaced with new swinging metal and plastic gates designed to enhance security and reduce fare evasion. This initiative is part of a $90 million investment to revitalize ridership post-pandemic. The new gates will also cater to those with disabilities by including access sensors, aiming to make transit safer and more accessible overall.
