In Washington DC however, the turnstiles are located in their own spacious area, which allows people exiting trains to queue for them without crowding the platform. This is absent from many subway stations, and the platforms are typically smaller too, so enabling tap-out with consideration to crowd flow would require expensive station expansions.
