Tonight's poll on the MBTA web-site was "How has your experience been with stations equipped with the new automated fare system?"
I submitted my vote that it needs improvement. The biggest flaw is the fact that they didn't use turn-styles like New York has. They should have designed them this way, or re-hab existing turnstyles to accept Charlie Cards. I say this because it looks like it is alot easier to slip between the plastic "gates" or "doors".
The poll results showed that almost 50% of riders feel the system needs improvement.
How do you feel?
