Gate glitch gives commuters free ride
http://home.kyodo.co.jp/modules/fstStory/index.php?storyid=342059
The above is an abbreviated version of a story that was on the front page of the Japan Times this morning, about the ticketing gates on Japanese trains.
The cards they are refering to are charged with money outside of the stations, and then simply by touching the card to the sensor, you enter the station.
In the real version of the article, the company who makes the gates appologized for the glitch, saying that the problem must have given the commuters trouble.
Appologizing for free train rides?
