It's some kind of altar? I work at the railroads, some traveler needed a ticket but couldn't figure out the machine. I couldn't figure it out either as I never use it. I gather other railroad employees and no one could make sense of it. We eventually just wrote them a paper ticket (intended for when the machines are broken) It must have been a week later when it struck me the thing must have been out of ticket paper and just hid all the functionality. The remaining functions were for putting a trip on a kind of credit card that more frequent travelers use but as such card was not inserted the menus were "limited" to a forest of various kinds of discount cards and alternative means of travel like adding a metro or bus trip.
