Seems a bit higher than that on average, Dec/Jan were ~8.3%. Faregates are rarely the rate limiter on throughput (buses moreso than others though). Adding more cuts enforcement labor and increases revenue.

There's a not-insignificant capital cost (faregates need electric and networking), and some users cannot be accommodated with faregates at all, necessitating station agents to let them in through an emergency exit or some other means of ingress.
