Since the implementstion of the emergency exit gates- whose original purpose has horribly backfired thanks to people misusing them- many people will wait just outside of fare control until somebody inevitably goes through the exit gate and then charge inside. It must be similar to what happens at the US border when people think there are no guards around.I saw this on Saturday at 137th Street uptown where there is no S/A. Admittedly, it's unreasonable to expect people with strollers to use the manned downtown exit and reverse direction at the next possible station. The same applies to someone with a stroller or bike trying to exit a station where there's no S/A to release the emergency gate. But there are plenty of people WITHOUT strollers who make the aforementioned mad entrance dash through the opened exit gate. For that matter, this occurs at Main Street Flushing- where there ARE full-time S/As at both exits. There are often cops hanging out there who completely ignore (a) people without strollers illegally exiting through the emergency gates; (b) people with or without strollers illegally entering through the emergency gates. |
