The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) says that’s the point. In a push to curb subway fare evasion—an ongoing financial drain that transit leaders say has ballooned in recent years—the agency is rolling out what several outlets have dubbed “spikes and paddles” across the system. Officials argue the hardware is a fast, relatively low-cost way to make
