» Turnstiles in Style at the MTA
The MTA is moving ahead with a plan to install more turnstiles at L.A. train stations (as voted on back in November).
Eight turnstiles are in use on a trial basis at the Alameda Street portal for the Red Line stop in Union Station, and five are operating at the Wilshire-Normandie station. By the end of the month, 12 turnstiles are scheduled to be installed at the Pershing Square station and 10 at Westlake-MacArthur Park.If all goes well, the rest of the subway stops and some light-rail stops will be next. So long, honor system.
