2 Ticketing Vending Machines Background We have 18 Ticket Vendor Machines (TVM’s) at our 9 MetroRail Stations (2 at each station) The cost of maintaining these machines - especially to support ongoing bank card (credit/debit cards) processing security - is increasing significantly A cost analysis of the next five years indicates that we would spend $4.6 million to maintain the use of credit/debit cards That cost would be almost equal to the expected revenue ($4.9 million) from those machines using credit/debit cards Alternatively, use our mobile ticketing app (and website) for credit/debit card transactions and use of the TVM’s for cash only (and smart cards) saves $4.3 million over that five-year period capmetro.org | IT 2
