If the goal is to stop fare evasion, BART can put agents at every gate to control passengers.
It is a much more human situation than designing urban architecture that can physically hurt people (particularly if they’re old/in a wheelchair/etc).
My favorite solution I’ve seen in Tokyo: gates that are open by default to optimize passenger throughput, but close down if you don’t present proper fare (and adequately staffed to boot).

- SamReidHughes 7y agoThat would be bad for poor riders because fares would have to be increased.
