New turnstile technology being tested at 34th/7th |
|
|
Posted by Allan on Sun Dec 17 15:10:52 2017 Two of the turnstiles at the entrance to the 1,2,3 trains (just past the LIRR ticket windows on the lower mezzanine ant Penn Station) have been fitted with new technology (all they did was remove the top portion where you swipe the MC and placed a new unit in its place).While it still has a place to swipe the MC it also has a window reader (best way I can describe it) so as to be able to read an image on a smartphone/iphone etc screen to trigger the turnstile. Along side the top are a series of lights which light up green when the MC is accepted (probably lights up red when the card doesn't work). There is also a newer screen showing the amount paid and remaining on the MC (the old screen is still in place) |

Cool...No need to change over the system to the Port Authority type recepticals. The Tap and Go readers are fine... Funny.. CDTA had them on buses for years now, and the MTA is just now playing catch up. |

Your finger print will be your ID card, your credit card, your railway ticket, and your primary nose picker.ROAR |

For relatively normal activities like train travel, I cant see a fingerprint being used as an ID. If the person is injured in such a way he/she can’t display it there would be problems like a few years ago when my right arm was in a cast due to a broken wrist. |

It *COULD* if you choose to use it that way. Otherwise you could use other media.After all NYC is a tourist destination. Not everybody is going to sing up for the gee-wizz gismos. ROAR |

Not to mention the fact that such tactics are so incredibly invasive it turns my stomach.It's sad as heck that today, you are decidedly under surveillance from the moment you step out your door. Even inside your doors. The fingerprint scanner on transportation entry/exit points I have heard of before. It is not a new idea. It just hasn't been implemented Here, yet. Fear is control. |
