""Our fare array is really the front door to our subway system ... And just like your own front door, we want it to be number one, secure, two, welcoming and three, easy to use for everyone.""
""The last time the MTA completely revamped their fare gates was in the 1990s, when the current turnstiles most of the system uses were installed.""
""The MTA is now making a $1.1 billion investment to install new fare gates at 150 stations out of 472.""
The MTA is set to enhance fare collection by installing modern fare gates at all entrances of 20 selected stations by the end of the year. This initiative aims to reduce fare evasion and improve accessibility for individuals with disabilities. New gates have already been installed at specific entrances in various stations. The MTA is investing $1.1 billion to upgrade fare gates at 150 stations, with the selection based on ridership, fare evasion, and accessibility needs.
