Wasn't the transfer in Canarsie behind a gate for easy transfer between the subway and bus?

That is correct. When the trolleys were running they boarded inside the control area. The problems started when buses replace the trolleys in 1951. Paper transfers were issued between the subway and B-42 buses. The TA discovered that many inbound bus riders would use the transfer to enter the subway platform and then exit the station and obtaining a bus transfer for a free trip back home.

Buses were then routed into the control zone with watchmen patrolling the area. At some point automatic gates were installed.
