To truly stem evasions, side

gates need replacing too

In your article titled “BART: Goodbye orange gates? Agency approves swinging gate design to stop fare cheats” (Eastbaytimes.com, Sept. 27), you mention replacing the orange gates with “sleek swinging doors.”

As a daily rider on the BART system, I see passengers cheating the system every day at the Del Norte BART station by going through the side gate, which has no orange gates attached. This gate is opposite the area where BART agents sit, and they are never seem to be caught.
