The 3rd-generation gates (which all of the wide gates are) are a bugbear of mine. They seem far slower and more prone to failure than the older ones. Plus, with paper tickets, they seem have an issue where the ticket sometimes gets stuck in the mechanism, and the thing that's meant to write the last-used gateline onto part of the magstripe ends up scribbling all over it, making the ticket useless in ticket gates thereafter. (When this happens the ticket churns around in the mechanism for a while, is eventually spat out with an 08 error, then all future attempts to use it anywhere receive an 09 error.) |
