[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hate Metro because the add-fare machines don't take credit cards or $20s. If you get stuck, their advice is to get change from another passenger. No real business would operate this way.[/quote]

If you're using a Smart Trip card it will let you ride on a deficit and always lets you exit the system.  The farecard machines let you use credit cards and $20 bills; only the Exit Fare doesn't.   If you're using a paper fare card you don't ride Metro much anyway so what are you complaining about?  Get a Smart Trip card.[/quote]

There are reasons to use the paper cards. Again, no real business would offer paper and then limit you in this way.[/quote]

Such as?  [/quote]

The more relevant point is that a lot of people want to be able to use the paper cards without being trapped by a weirdly limited exitfare machine. If lots of consumers want to use it, does it matter why? To a real business, no.[/quote]

I've rode metro daily for 20 years and I've used exitfare maybe once.  I find it hard to believe that a lot of people have this concern.  If you think it's a great idea to rely on having a lot of low value cards lying around, then go ahead but that doesn't mean if metro accomodate your desires then it must be a terrible system.
