The New York City Transportation Administration (MTA) is testing new turnstiles at two busy stations in Brooklyn and Queens. Pix11.

The first batch of them was installed at the end of March at the Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center station in downtown Brooklyn. And another will soon be at Sutphin-Archer station in Queens. This is a test program to collect information, data and feedback on new turnstiles.

The MTA is looking for turnstile designs that are more accessible and user friendly. The rotating metal bar is gone. The new model is equipped with sliding doors that open and close automatically when a passenger passes.

“We want to see how the New York environment and passengers interact and create turnstiles that meet the requirements of New York. There is no such model yet,” said MTA spokesman Cumuel Arroyo.

The test sites will be monitored. The new turnstiles are equipped with sensors on the floor and remote monitoring, which allows receiving data on the use and number of passengers. They can also track stowaways by recording and comparing the number of fares with the number of passengers.

This is not the final design. Based on the data and observations received, the MTA plans to test other options within the next month.
