The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) stands to gain from reduced fare evasion, while commuters who rely on the subway system stand to lose from increased costs if evasion rates remain low. The MTA first installed new subway fare gates at select stations.
The New York Times and Newsday report that the MTA will install more gates at 20 additional subway stations. The MTA's decision to install more gates suggests that the initial results are promising.
