> The MTA response indicated that a gate agent is present to perform an override. Additionally, the exit is always free. Folks with mobility challenges are not endangered by this. They're not endangered in that they're free to leave, but it's not true that a gate agent is always present, despite what the MTA claims, so it's possible people would have been unable to enter if they are unable or unwilling to jump the turnstile. (In practice, there's almost always someone leaving the station/train, and they'd be able to open the emergency gate from the inside in a situation like this.)
