Access Control Gates
Access control gates found in Singapore's MRT stations have evolved in design & features over the years. 5 different series of gates have been used in the MRT stations. All series of these gates are still working side by side in the MRT system, although the 2 oldest generations of these gates in the MRT stations have had their magnetic farecard components removed & have been upgraded to accept contactless smart cards.
