Courtesy of Google Translate, I managed to learn from Ridus.ru this innovative design is deployed at “Tsarina” station on Moscow subway. As pointed out on Ridus, this triangular metal structure, apart from being effective in stopping fare jumpers, is a hassle for riders moving through the gates with luggage.  It will be nice to know the before vs. after comparisions to find out how effective these systems are in stopping the fare gate violations.
