The new generation 'Titan' faregates(first 2 pictures from top) will replace the 1ST and 2ND generation faregates very soon as the 1ST and 2ND generation faregates have been in service for more than 20 years.The new faregate has 14 sensors which can differentiate between human and inanimate objects and thus prevents tailgating,that is to avoid paying fares.It also prevents users from hitting the gate itself as it remains open until the user who has tapped his or her ez-link card on the card reader has passed through.It is also energy-saving as it uses servo-motors and low energy LED displays.It does not show a green arrow or a red cross for entry or exit.Instead,it shows a green or a red light bar for entry or exit.
