Europe is well known for its transportation facilities..believe me its really fantastic. Be it Trains,Trams or Buses. You have so good network of it so that you can start your journey any time.
Not only tourists but local people also use this public transport very often. There are many things which are helping them to make use of it and one of it is Ticket Vending Machines.
We often see this picture at all Bus stations, Railway stations etc. without fail and we just hate it than anything else.
So what these people are doing here.
Apart from internet bookings which is getting used in India quite often these days here they use Ticket Vending Machines. Its best thing to get rid of linessssssssssss.
Picture shows basic model of such machines. Its simple mechanical machine... yes they have advanced kind of models with space ball , touch screens and all but thought this suits us more.
Its very simple to use.. You can pay by Notes, Coins or Card.
The chart shows the code numbers for different cities.
Topmost left button is to select your language
Below that two columns ..one is for adult and one is for kids. (Half ticket)
In these columns different buttons for One trip ticket, Return Ticket, Day ticket, State ticket, Group ticket etc etc.
Another two buttons up there to add number of commuters..
Thats it... no complications....
It takes hardly 4-5 mins to get it even for a stranger....
Some of you will say that instead of this we can just increase counters ..we have so much berojgaar public and all...but again.. counter means 10am (approx) to 5 pm (sharp) timings.... 1 pm to 2 pm (depends) lunch time.... chutta nahi kya?? 500 ka chutta tera @#$ dega kya?? .. abe teri.. tu line me kab khada tha be....
I have heard that at some places in Mumbai we do have these kinda machines but since i hvnt seen or used them i thought this should make its entry to the blog..
(तिकिटाचे पैसे घेतल्यावर उरलेले पैसे निदान इथली तरी मशीन्स देतात .. तिकडे पण द्यावीत हीच अपेक्षा )
Surely this will help old people waiting in queue.
