A woman in California became stuck underneath a BART fare gate after allegedly attempting to avoid paying by slipping under it, according to a video shared on Reddit. The incident was captured on camera and quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing a mix of jokes and criticism from viewers.
BART has introduced a newer generation of fare gates designed to make fare evasion more difficult for riders, reports The Nerd Stash. The taller and more secure barriers have helped reduce fare evasion across the transit system, though some individuals have apparently still attempted to bypass them. Videos shared online have shown people trying to squeeze underneath the gates or closely follow paying passengers before the barriers close.
