    Wouldn’t another possibility be active fare dodging? And if they do that, can’t they just fill the station and trains with so many people until they are forced to run the train to manage the crowd? I imagine all able people will go piggyback through turnstiles to half the fare at least.

    In terms of potentially fineable behavior, this might be safer than creating an ad hoc ped xing on an interstate.

    Maybe the NJ locals need to weigh in on how likely the constabulary will be to make use of their firearms in such a situation.

      All train access is a scan and turnstile. Scan ticket to get in. Two through triggers an alarm, holding it open triggers an alarm. Cops are all over the place on normal days.

      Not going to be an issue I’m sure.
