The MTA Probably Does Not Want Phreaky Types Seeing Stuff Like This.

New York’s MTA “On the Go Travel Station” machines are made by Intersection, the same company that controls the LinkNYC monopoly. So glitches should be expected. I couldn’t find a way to do anything meaningful through this but yesterday and the day before several stations I encountered allowed access to what looks like a field where I could have entered a website URL.

I don’t know but I had no luck getting anywhere with this. The touchscreen function seemed wack, with a screentap made on one spot registering at a seemingly random spot somewhere else on the screen.

But now I have to ask what it takes, besides a glitch, to summon this little bottom-of-the-screen portal on the MTA’s “On the Go Travel Station” screens. I got as far as getting a letter P in there but I have no idea how, or where it might have led.
