The news reports from the day they were installed show people jumping them.

There’s absolutely a correlation between fare jumpers and events like this, but if we had more cops on the trains and platforms both issues would be addressed! Station Managers are alerted when someone jumps the gate! There’s an alarm that goes off. Station Manager notifies the platform officer, the person is ticketed and escorted off the platform. Cops on the trains and on the platforms can easily verify paid status, ticket people who haven’t paid AND ensure things like this don’t happen!
Metro is making the choice to continue to put safety behind trying to recoup profits.

Sure glad they are spending $40 million on plastic doors rather than putting more cops on cars and platforms.

Also, Germany is planning a low cost (€49 a month) nation wide train service system.

Reply to The Metro is the reason my car stays in the garage for weeks at a time. Without it, I would be driving 3-4 days a week. How much more frequently would you be driving if it weren’t for the Metro? by SuperBethesda
I live out in the ‘burbs. The Metro saves me a ton of driving in every day. I don’t have one of those fancy WFH jobs.
