ticket machine
Transit payment kiosk
A ticket machine is an automated kiosk that dispenses tickets—for trains, buses, parking, or events—in exchange for payment.
Users select their destination or ticket type, insert cash or a card, and receive a printed ticket: The ticket machine at the station was out of order, so I had to queue at the counter.
