This is where Edmonton has us. I was up there this year and their transit machines are pretty intelligent. They give change, let you buy round trip tickets, etc. Sure their train goes nowhere, but at least they spent a dime on machines that are decent.

Honestly, why the eff do we not have machines that take debit/credit?
