This was about gates on the platform, not gates to get into the station. Those new station gates have been a complete boondoggle however. Translink spent $200 million [1] on a system which was supposed to save $2 million a year in fare evasion but people just jump through anyway. They try to put a bright spin on this saying revenue went up $30 million, but they don't talk about ridership level increases at the same time. Even if they saved $10 million a year, it would take 20 years to pay for the system, far longer than the useful life of the fare gates.
