Por gentileza, como se diz "catraca" também conhecida como "roleta" no Brazil, em inglês. Estou me referindo ao dispositivo em que a gente insere um bilhete e é liberada a entrada no metrô ou terminal de ônibus. Obrigado.

turnstile

Definition from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turnstile:

A turnstile is a form of gate which allows movement of people into a building or venue, but not out. As such, a turnstile is often used for controlling the input of paying people, for an event or in public transport, for example. Turnstiles are also used for counting the numbers of people passing through a gate, even where payment is not involved.
