Years ago you were able to buy soda on many platforms in machines. Most of the time you ended up with nothing but that's another story ;-) Those were the machines that would drop a cup and then fill it with your choice of drink. Quite often the soda would pour out before the cup dropped....Seriously though the containers that were vended by the machine had no covers and there were no signs stating that you could not take the product on the train with you. The implication was that if this was sold on the platform then it was perfectly alright to consume it on the train. Even today drinks and candy are sold inside fare control. Most people assume they can consume these purchases on the train. Personally I will only drink my coffee in cups that have those covers with just a small slit whether I am on the subway or in my private car. It greatly reduces the chance for spillage. |
