A sad day in passenger railroading!! And of note, the TIMs (Ticket Issuing Machines) that our Conductors have here are equipped with a barcode scanner, presumably for something like this!!! Again, a sad day in passenger railroading!!! Better appreciate my punch while I can!! :-( |

Good that they're upgrading the system to real time rather than the current process. Greyhound desperately needs to get on this as well! I just initiated a similar system for my company as part of my new reservation system |
