Metro-North adds ticket vending area

by Susan on November 3, 2009

New York’s Metro-North Railroad opened a new ticket machine center in Grand Central Terminal in anticipation of the Thanksgiving travel rush.  Michael Grynbaum writes in The New York Times:

Customers who find themselves on the verge of strangling that dawdler at the machine in front of them will now be soothed by a brightly lit, climate-controlled environment, monitored by security cameras as an extra precaution against commuter-on-commuter crime. A wide-screen television displays approaching train departures.

Grand Central Station houses a total of 28 ticket vending machines.  Link to full story in New York Times.
