I was thrilled to see that someone installed two automatic ticket vending machines at Dadar station in Bombay. They had touch screen displays of Bombay's rail lines with different zone areas. People stood around looking at them with curiosity and hope. I could see them thinking maybe someday soon we wouldn't have to wait in long queues to buy commuter tickets twice a day.
So I ask the constable at his desk next to the machines, what was up with them? He says they've been there for weeks but don't work and aren't likely to work since he heard the private company that installed them is out of business!!
Typical...
