LOS ANGELES—In an effort to boost safety on train lines, Metro on May 28 formally rolled out a pilot program in the North Hollywood neighborhood that requires rail passengers to tap their fare card to exit the subway station.

The move is aimed at providing more assurance that people who are riding the trains paid the fare to board the line. Sheriff Robert Luna said in recent comments that the vast majority of people arrested or detained in connection with wrongdoing on the transit system had not paid the proper fare to board.
