The number of faregates at the Canada Line stations do seem unexplainably low.. Langara with 3 ?? Only 5 at Broadway ? That dumb gap in the middle of the gates at VCC ? Waterfront with 1 into the platform and 2 out of it ?
I feel like they should've given every station at least 4, and sacrificed one of the wide ones if it meant fitting 2 regular gates..
Side note: I watched somewhat walk right up to one of the wide gates at Surrey Central and push his way through with relatively little effort.. They a lot easier to open, as well as follow someone through, than the smaller gates.
