It would be kind of hard to implement a half-fare system for children on the subway. Are they going to sell special children's Metrocards?It used to be based on age - I think children five and up had to pay. Or could five-year-olds get in free, meaning it was at age six that you had to pay? Certainly, seven-year-olds always had to pay. The three children per adult limit was imposed (I think) at the same time they switched to the height-based rule. I've never heard of it really being enforced, though. How high are the current turnstiles? I think they are less than 44 inches (floor to the bottom edge of the bar), but not too much less. Meaning kids that have to duck their heads just a bit would be OK, but not those who really have to bend down. |
