NYT: MetroCard Vending Machine Problem Hits at Morning Rush By SEWELL CHAN \| July 29, 2008 Because of technical problems, scores and possibly hundreds of MetroCard vending machines throughout the subway system could not accept credit or debit card payments at various times on Monday, inconveniencing riders who have come to depend on the machines to pay for their transit fares without using cash. The problems were particularly acute from about 8:30 to 10:30, at the tail end of the morning rush, and prompted New York City Transit, the arm of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority that operates the subways and buses, to issue a service alert warning riders of the problems. Officials noticed that the problem started to recur around 5:20, during the evening rush. At about 6, at one entrance to the Times Square station, signs on the vending machines indicated that they were not accepting credit or debit cards, and a station agent opened the exit gate and ushered passengers through without making them pay.
