It seems crazy to me that costs would be $200 million to do it. What is that, close to $500,000 per station in Calgary?

I believe that number, because the downtown stations would cost millions each to wall off. It would also really wreck the streetsscape downtown.
But just because it doesn't make sense to fare gate all the stations doesn't mean we should fare gate zero stations either. Some of them would be very inexpensive and the incremental fare revenue would almost certainly pay back the costs.
