Sean Clark+FollowBrooklyn’s new MTA gates face viral challengeTurns out the MTA’s high-tech fare gates aren’t as foolproof as promised—just ask Brooklyn’s own Kiingspiider, who’s racked up millions of views showing creative ways to bypass them (sometimes in a Spider-Man suit!).

With the MTA piloting these gates at 20 stations, it’s clear riders are putting them to the test. What do you think: Is this a wake-up call for better priorities, or just internet antics? #Transportation #Brooklyn #MTA00Share
