They have many more passengers utilizing each gate, so the investment in those gate lines are amortized over a greater number of passengers. The automation of the fare collection results in a net savings when compared with the cost of providing the requisite number of conductors to enforce fares. It is virtually impossible for the LIRR to achieve the same reduction in cost when you're specifying a system where the gates will not be placed at the busiest stations. |
