"Hundreds of riders trying to flee a recent subway shooting were forced to exit one at a time, the emergency door locked — an effort to deter against fare evasion.

Critics of measures taken to deter fare evasion warned of a scenario exactly like this."

If only New York had some sort of historical precedent it could have learned from. Too bad there wasn't anything like that.

Funny, if you run a restaurant or theater or some venue, you can be shut down by the fire marshal for not having adequate exits, right? Didn't anyone apply those ideas to subways?

@Deidzoeb @taliajane A whole lot of the public shouted about it but I guess the Subway Authority is special. Between this and the National Guard searching bags. Uselessly.
