Despite the installation of sharp metal spikes at subway turnstiles, fare evaders are continuing to jump the barriers, showing the ineffectiveness of MTA's approach.
A police officer expressed skepticism about the spikes' effectiveness, stating, "I don't think this is going to stop them. They are going to jump anyway."
The MTA's new spikes, aimed at deterring fare evaders, are not preventing many riders from continuing to hop turnstiles, showing a persistent issue.
With fare evasion costing the MTA approximately $700 million in 2022, the agency's current solutions seem inadequate to tackle the problem effectively.
