The machine will give the false sense that it has been checked already. The best kind of barrier fare system IMO is one that requires a ticket on entry *and* exit like PATCO or DC. A fare beater would need to jump a faregate twice, and since they would have no idea of the police presence at their destination station before starting (even if a website says it is clear, that could change while en route), it may result in a fair amount of inconvenience. The "maximum fare from this station" charge that these systems have is a friendly penalty. IMO subways and *railroads* would benefit from a barrier fare control system like the one I described above, while LRTs are better served with PoP. |
