In the USA we use going through or passing through the turnstiles or exit gate with the oyster card in hand. We would understand cross gate as well, and it is a very precise term as actual turnstiles are no longer used in the London Underground.

I agree with poli; I don't recall hearing anything other than 'going/passing through the turnstile/(entry) gate" for the act of passing the payment-control barrier in a light rail station.
(Here in Boston the local mass transit authority replaced coin/token turnstiles in light rail stations and coin drop boxes on busses with scannable tickets/cards about 8 years ago; some of us still use the word turnstile some of the time when referring to the current type of entry gate in our light rail stations.) |
