SFGate: I tried to get through BART's new unbeatable fare gates. Here's how it went.

BART plans to spend $90 million on replacing all 700 gates in the system with gates that are too high to jump and too strong to push through, which system administrators hope will lead to a sharp decrease in fare evasion. When I heard about the supposedly unbeatable gates, I knew I had to try to beat them. Surprisingly, spokesperson Jim Allison invited me to the West Oakland BART Station to give it my best.
