TTC 开始逐步淘汰地铁站的“无水龙头”闸门

一位官员表示，TTC 正开始逐步淘汰地铁站的“无水龙头”闸门，因为顾客以这种方式非法进入，每年会给交通运输机构造成超过 2000 万美元的损失。

The TTC is starting to phase out "no tap" gates at subway stations because customers gaining entry this way illegitimately is costing the transit agency more than $20 million a year, an official says.

一位官员表示，TTC 正开始逐步淘汰地铁站的“无水龙头”闸门，因为顾客以这种方式非法进入，每年会给交通运输机构造成超过 2000 万美元的损失。

The no-tap gates, which are monitored by collectors, automatically open when customers approach them at subway stations. Customers who use these gates legitimately are those who do not need to pay, such as children under 12, people with a support person assistance card, and those with a paper transfer. People also use these gates when paying with cash, a TTC ticket or a token.

由收集器监控的无水龙头门，当顾客接近地铁站时会自动打开。合法使用这些登机口的乘客是那些不需要付费的乘客，例如 12 岁以下的儿童、持有支持人员援助卡的人士以及使用纸质转账的人士。人们在使用现金、TTC 票或代币付款时也会使用这些门。

But some customers are able to use the no-tap gates to enter subway stations without paying when they should be paying, TTC spokesperson Stuart Green said.

但 TTC 发言人斯图尔特·格林 (Stuart Green) 表示，一些顾客在应该付费的情况下却可以使用免触碰门进入地铁站。

"People are just walking right through them without paying when they should be paying," he said.

他说：“人们只是径直穿过它们，而在应该付费的时候却没有付费。”

Now, collectors will open the fare gates manually for people who need to gain entry this way on Line 4, the TTC said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.

TTC 在 X（前身为 Twitter）上发帖称，现在，检票员将为需要通过这种方式进入 4 号线的乘客手动打开检票口。

During the first step to the phase out, all other fare gates on Line 4 will be switched to "tap only" mode, the TTC said on its website.

TTC 在其网站上表示，在逐步淘汰的第一步中，4 号线的所有其他检票口将切换为“仅点击”模式。

The phasing out of no-tap gates across the entire subway system could take a year or two, Green said.

格林说，整个地铁系统逐步淘汰无水龙头门可能需要一两年的时间。

The TTC is undergoing a "culture change" where fare evasion will not be tolerated, he added. Full and partial evasion, through a myriad of ways, is costing the TTC roughly $140 million a year.

他补充说，TTC 正在经历一场“文化变革”，逃票行为是不会被容忍的。通过多种方式进行的全部或部分逃税每年给 TTC 造成约 1.4 亿美元的损失。

"Those days are gone at the TTC," Green said. "We can't take this lightly any more."

“在TTC，那些日子已经一去不复返了，”格林说。 “我们不能再掉以轻心了。”

Affordability could be an issue, customer says

客户表示，负担能力可能是一个问题

One TTC customer, who spoke to CBC Toronto at Don Mills subway station, said she supports the phase-out if people who can afford to pay fare are using the no-tap gates to skip out on fares.

一位 TTC 顾客在 Don Mills 地铁站接受 CBC Toronto 采访时表示，如果有能力支付车费的人使用免触碰门跳过车费，她支持逐步取消车费。

However, affordability could be an issue for some people, Maryam Ibrahimi said.

然而，玛丽亚姆·易卜拉希米说，负担能力对某些人来说可能是一个问题。

"If it's people who can't afford it, then maybe we should look at the affordability prices. But if it's people just trying to take advantage of the system, obviously, I think it's a good idea," she said.

“如果是那些买不起的人，那么也许我们应该考虑一下可负担的价格。但如果是人们只是想利用这个系统，显然，我认为这是一个好主意，”她说。

On its website, the transit agency said fare evasion is considered illegal and could result in a $425 fine.

该交通机构在其网站上表示，逃票被视为非法行为，可能会被处以 425 美元的罚款。

"The fares we collect help us limit fare increases, deliver service and maintain and our system. When you don't pay your fare, you impact our ability to do this," the TTC said.

TTC 表示：“我们收取的票价有助于我们限制票价上涨、提供服务并维护我们的系统。如果您不支付票价，就会影响我们执行此操作的能力。”

According to the TTC, fare evasion can be any of the following actions:

根据 TTC 的规定，逃票可以是以下任何一种行为：

The move to phase out no-tap gates comes days after the TTC announced an interim CEO.

在 TTC 宣布临时首席执行官的几天后，就采取了逐步淘汰免触碰门的举措。

TTC board chair Jamaal Myers said last week that Greg Percy will take over from Bruce Macgregor, who was named acting CEO after Rick Leary resigned on Aug. 30.

TTC 董事会主席贾马尔·迈尔斯 (Jamaal Myers) 上周表示，格雷格·珀西 (Greg Percy) 将接替布鲁斯·麦克格雷格 (Bruce Macgregor)，后者在里克·利里 (Rick Leary) 8 月 30 日辞职后被任命为代理首席执行官。

Percy, when speaking to reporters on Friday, said his top priorities are safety and customer experience. Meanwhile, the search for a permanent CEO continues.

珀西周五在接受记者采访时表示，他的首要任务是安全和客户体验。与此同时，寻找永久首席执行官的工作仍在继续。
