Specifically referring to Western cities... Author does use Tokyo as an example of excellent fare control when needed due to usage later in the article, so they do agree with you there.
- dahdum 7y agoIf the author believes no Western city needs faregates at all, shouldn't it follow that the vast majority of them in Tokyo are unnecessary too?
