It will give us a good idea of any crowding problems at the turnstiles, at least for boarding. Exiting could be a problem once that is activated because each rider will eventually have to swipe out, and there is a half-second delay before the reader releases the turnstile arm. That could be a problem when multiple trains drop off a few hundred riders at a time.I think it'll be good if something happens, a lot of workers being late to work because of SEPTA's dumb gates and there'll be even less riders!
