Talk:Turnstile

"Turnstiles in Russia"

What's the purpose of a distinct section titled as above? What's so special about this particular country's turnstiles? 86.29.81.179 (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 02:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC).

Ticket Barriers

Currently 'Ticket Barrier' redirects here. However, a ticket barrier refers to a gate which lets people through to a public transport system if they have a ticket. Ticket barriers can be gates or turnstiles. Could someone change this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anywikiuser (talk • contribs) 17:05, 12 February 2008

Fix what? To be completely honest, the differences are minimal - the redirect seems fine to me; the only possible improvement would be to possibly add some info on the other type of gate you describe to this article. Alternativley, if you can find enough info on the other type of gate, create an article for it in place of the redirect, but I can't see that being easy. _TalkIslander 23:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

...such as in the UK, where turnstiles are very rarely used as ticket barriers. Anywikiuser (talk) 19:03, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, being in the UK myself, I feel I can accuratly state that turnstiles are very often used as ticket barriers. Go to any theme park or similar ticked attraction, and you'll find a turnstile. Train stations aren't the only places using ticket barriers ;). _TalkIslander 22:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I am saying the redirect is inaccurate as a ticket barrier is a gate controlling access and a turnstile is a device often used as a ticket barrier. I forgot that theme parks etc. often have them. Anywikiuser (talk) 16:13, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Worthy, perhaps, of mention? Crusoe (talk) 22:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Negatives/Criticism

Mentioning that they are not usable by some obese people and wheelchair users would be worth mentioning. --65.92.51.165 (talk) 06:59, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Acutally, there are turnstile gates for wheelchair users, called swing gates. The width for the passage is customizable. Tripod turnstiles and speed gates are kind of barrier passage, while swing gates, barrier free passage.

History Expansion

There definitely needs to be some expansion in the History section. For example: early pioneers and companies, who holds patents, when first commercialized, etc. Any thoughts? Fickce4 (talk) 06:21, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
