Yes, the vending machines that issue tickets take cash (again, I believe this option is available only with the red vending machines, which you can just make out in this picture[1]). > anyways, it seems less convenient than a stored value card unless there is only one kind of ticket anyways and you are just counting down rides. Agreed, but see @zvr's comment further up the thread - it turns out the 10-journey Brupass option is cheaper than bank card payments, so would indeed make 'counting down rides' the best option unless you want to make many short journeys in a single day.
