Machines are so well designed, yet other cities refuse to copy them. Septa in philadelphia finally switched to smart cards a few years ago, but the card machines are not nearly as responsive or easy to use as metro card machines. All they had to do is buy the same machines and change the label, but no. In particular, metro card touch screens actually respond when you touch them. Quickly, accurately, reliably. The septa machines, despite being many years newer, consistently miss touches and take several seconds to process each input.
