The Egyptian National Railways (ENR) is mulling installing electronic gates in railway stations to stop passengers with no tickets from boarding trains, Transport Minister Kamel El Wazir said, according to Gulf News. This comes after a train conductor allegedly forced two youth out of a moving train for not purchasing tickets, causing one of them to die. The idea of installing turnstiles at railway stations had emerged before but appears to have been shelved.
