NYC Transit scrambles to replace subway emergency gate locks as copied $27 'magic key

[mark1447]

NYC Transit may have to replace locks on emergency gates throughout its 468 subway stations because too many keys are the hands of subway scammers, agency head Tom Prendergast said Monday.

 

Transit has begun an audit to determine how many keys have been issued over the years and to whom, Prendergast said at the MTA's transit committee meeting.

 

If the audit determines too many keys have fallen into the wrong hands - the keys are supposed to be used only by firefighters and certain authorized transit workers - then the agency will change locks wholesale, Prendergast said.

 

"If that's required, that's what we're going to do," he said.
