Well, they could leave the platform that doubles as the walkway to the bus station (south Station) outside the ring of steel (paid area).
Build something. Anything.

So how strictly is this enforced? Would the T be able to get some sort of exception/waiver to install gates?
The cost of installing the gates is not clear, as Keolis has not finalized a contract for them. An agreement with the MBTA from a couple of years back estimated the cost at up to $10 million.I wonder how many assistant conductors you could hire for $10 million?

This really is the worst of both worlds.I have a one way Zone 2 ticket I buy every couple of months which I use when they are doing the manual checks before boarding. It goes back into my wallet and I use the app to pay for my actual ride, on the 80% or so times they actually collect my ticket.
