Metro installing tall gates to deter fare evasion -
The first station getting the new gates in full will be Fort Totten, which serves the Green and Red lines. Gates at Fort Totten will be fully retrofitted with saloon doors by Saturday, according to Metro.An earlier prototype failed to stop people from jumping gates, so the city decided on more rigid swinging doors standing 4 feet.
The retrofitted improvements were deemed necessary because fare evasion costs Metro around $40 million yearly. After the completion of the Fort Totten retrofits, nine other stations will have the swinging doors installed in a first phase:• Court House, an Orange and Silver Line station.• Addison Road, a Silver and Blue Line station.• Mount Vernon Square, a Yellow and Green Line station.A second phase will retrofit the remaining 87 stations. The entire process is projected by Metro to cost $40 million and take around 15 months to complete.
