amNY Sports email newsletterThe Metropolitan Transportation Authority will pilot “wide-aisle” fare gates at subway stations this year, easing use of the system for wheelchair users who, unlike most riders, cannot pass through turnstiles.
“We are finally installing those gates this year,” Arroyo said during the MTA’s New York City Transit committee meeting on Monday. “This is the first time that the MTA is changing their fare array and how our customers access our systems. I’m very excited to be installing the very first wide-out gates in the subway system, improving access for customers with disabilities, bikes, strollers, luggage, and many more.”, promising to roll them out for testing at five stations.
