Posted by BusMgr on Fri May 16 10:15:00 2025 New turnstiles now in use at Canarsie L train station to stop fare skippingThere had not been a barrier because the B42 bus route was intended to be part of the subway system, as it replaced the outer end of the Canarsie route. The bus boarding area had been all fenced, with buses having to use controlled gates to enter, to prevent (or at least minimize) fare evasion. However, when I looked at Google street views, it seems that sometime between 2018 and 2021, the bus gates were removed. If that is true (I have not been there for years) then it is no wonder that the fare is being evaded. Why would those gates not have been retained? In sum, the NYCTA's actions here appear to be step backwards. Imagine if MTA management operated the subway in Toronto: all the stations would be turned into prisons to prevent direct transfers between subway trains and surface routes. |
