For what it's worth, every ATM I've ever used here (a major city in the US) has made you take the card back before continuing the transaction. That said, they've all used a "insert card -> remove card -> enter PIN

For getting an intuitive sense of the kind of throughput here, I think it'd be useful to picture a rollercoaster. If anything, rollercoasters are even faster boarding than one-person pods would be, since the whole rollercoaster train s
