THE days of being wedged in MRT gates could end soon for commuters with prams or luggage.

SMRT said yesterday it will unveil new, high-tech gates in the third quarter of next year that will ensure passengers do not get clipped while entering or exiting. The company operates the North-South and East-West lines in Singapore.

It is trying to get the Land Transport Authority (LTA) to put in the gates at all existing and upcoming stations.
