I think it's really sad that in well over 100 years NYC hasn't constructed a tunnel or bridge to where the trains could have access to the other borroughs.
Great Question it is because to accommodate this fare collection system, the turnstiles at Staten Island Railway stations for St George and Tompkinsville are often designed differently from those at other subway stations. Instead of allowing entry only with a swipe of a MetroCard or OMNY, the turnstiles may allow both entry and exit without requiring passengers to swipe a Metrocard or OMNY. This setup is intended to facilitate the purchase and validation before boarding the train or Exiting the System to access the Buses and the Staten Island Ferry toward Manhattan also All the Other SIR Stations From Stapleton to Tottenville have No Turnstiles It is Free around those Stations
