Ticket Vending Macnine Vandalized

NS Railways in Netherlands has touch screen ticket vending machines installed at every railway station. This is how they work. Great use of Flash to teach you how to use the machine.

The day we were to visit Keukenhof (Tulip Gardens), the first machine we encountered had its touch screen vandalized. The machine was rendered completely useless. By the time we were back from our trip, it was back in action. I was not surprised. Here is why.

If all the machines at the station you wish to take the train from are not working, then its a valid reason for you to travel without ticket. Hence it makes all sense for them to rectify the faulty machines as soon as possible.
