The solution should be the one to lower costs for everyone.
Best savings: That would be no gates at all.
2nd best: If doing thigs the old way is really adding some warm and fuzzy benefit, make them work like the exit gates. That's next lowest cost because: No buttons. No cards, No new systems. No staff salaries to administer the system. No costs for new hardware, computers and ongoing yearly maintenance. Fewer broken arms to repair.
Worst thing: Spend $270k to replicate something that has zero actual value. Spend our money to do all the things that the first 2 solutions can avoid. Spend even more to "enhance" the system so it behaves like the exit gate arms. Seems like a huge waste of OUR money.
