And, you forgot the best part, which is just as the train is approaching the platform, you are trying to buy the ticket in the machine, but, lo and behold, cal train Credit Card payment is unlike any credit card payment system you've ever used - you do not rapidly push your card in/out, no, it is uniquely designed to require you to push the card in, pause, pause, and then only when it informs you it is safe to proceed, do you then rapidly pull your card out.

It took me several weeks to master that move.
