These machines would sell single ride tickets (same as cash fare) or day passes, but would allow customers to pay with credit cards (as is the case with the O-Train ticket machines).

This eliminates the requirement for customers to have exact change which in my opinion is a significant inconvenience of using transit from an occasional rider's perspective.
Just like the Montreal metro. We're way overdue for this type of system.
