TLDR

This news article reports on the 'Fare Evasion Olympics,' an event organized by Danny Fisher to demonstrate the ineffectiveness of the MTA's new subway turnstile gates. Participants, including a pole dancer, a rock climber, and a parkour athlete, successfully jumped over the 6-foot-tall turnstiles. The event highlighted the gates' failure to prevent fare evasion and raised concerns about their safety, particularly after an incident where a child's neck got caught in one. The participants argued that the new turnstiles are expensive and ineffective, and called for better investment in subway services.
