The 3 is my main bus route and it is quite busy, which aligns with this data. Connecting two LRT stations (Stadium and Kingsway/Royal Alex) and a major transit centre (Westmount), plus major employers (Royal Alex and Kingsway) will do that.
 
This is Paris. These open and close really fast. they move inwards/outwards rather than open/close like a door.

Sao Paulo's are like these as well. and the distance between the reader and the doors is long-ish, so it's basically impossible to do what people are doing in NYC (trust me, if it were possible, people would... It's sad, but the reality is that the stereotype of Brazilians trying to get around every law and rule they can is true).
 
I'm surprised by this NY debacle, but its clear from comments here some other places have it figured out much better.
 
When I was in Southeast Asia (mainly on the Singapore MRT and the Bangkok BTS/MRT), people weren't even trying to fare skip. It wouldn't have been too difficult as the doors would be quite easy to jump over in most places, though they do close quite quickly. People just don't do it. It helps that there are many staff at all stations, whether it be security, ticket vendors, etc, so if you did try to do it, you would most likely be caught almost immediately. I also think there's a cultural element as well.
