Is this movie based on "The Two of Us" (1967)? http://www.criterion.com/films/757
I am an occasional (2-3 times a week) bus & MAX rider, and I normally don't have tickets on me. The two machines at the stop where I board (downtown near Central Library, going east) have NEVER both been working. I have never seen the westernmost one working, and the easternmost machine, on the occasion it is working at all, is only accepting one form of payment. I have had several experiences where it cannot read either of my credit cards (with which I have no problems at grocery stores, etc.). Last week I had an experience where I was trying to buy a $2.30 fare: I gave it three dollar bills, at which point it said I still owed $0.30, and then the red dot came on meaning I couldn't put in any more money. So I pressed cancel and got none of my money back, nor a ticket, and had to ride out to Gateway worrying about the inspectors. I would say that only about 5-10% of the time do I have a smooth, flawless transaction with a MAX machine.
