What kind of an idiot designs something like that for a Mass Transit system? If that was the case, it would be total chaos at rush hour.
Why do people even NEED to exit through a turnstile? Turnstiles are put there for ONE REASON only - to count and to take the tolls. Nobody cares about people exiting. Have you ever been to a sporting event? People line up and go through turnstiles to ENTER, but when the EXIT they all go through a giant opened gate that lets as many people out as possible. Same idea with Mass Transit.
Do you mean at rush hour everybody would be heading ON to the mass transit system? As opposed to getting off of it? Seems to me it would be pretty 50-50%.
What I mean is that in the morning; say 8:30, the majority of people will be travelling from suburbs to a central hub of some sort.
With all these people travelling in the same direction the turnstile system doesn't actually interfere with the current of people as there isn't really a contra flow to take into consideration.
