ticket kiosks
Self-service dispensers
Ticket kiosks are self-service machines where customers purchase or collect tickets—for transit, movies, events, or parking.
They typically feature touchscreens, card readers, and ticket printers: The ticket kiosks at the train station had a twenty-minute line.
The machines reduce staffing needs while letting customers skip human interaction.
