A driver writes

After finishing my run at BTC last week I was standing on the Max platform waiting for my train . I noticed a line of people by the ticket machine , the machine was broken and people were upset . I told them they could go to the buses and buy tickets from the drivers ! You could make a suggestion to Trimet to hang a sign on each machine ," Machine broken see bus driver for tickets !". One last thing , the ticket machine had no ID numbers on the top , they were removed . I guess this is so you cant call dispatch and tell them the machine # ?
