[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fare machines don't take credit cards? Seriously?[/quote] The vending machines for purchasing and adding to fare cards do take credit cards. The AddFare machines — which are solely for adding exactly enough to the balance on the card to allow someone to exit the station do not. The AddFare machines probably date from the original opening of the Metro system, when using credit cards to pay for very small purchases was much less common. So, yeah: seriously. If it’s a problem then people can simply add to their cards before they get on the train — to ensure that they have a high enough balance on their cards to allow them to pay for their trip. [/quote]
