I hope that your wish for an automated system comes true
And that it costs considerably more than expected to install, resulting in increased fares.
And then, once it is in place, it turns out to be even shitter and more unreliable than employing people to do it.

Except it won't, because, in case you hadn't noticed, most of the ticketing system is already completely automated.

Next time you get on a train, have a look at the magical boxes that let you buy a ticket to anywhere
and the fancy barriers that scan the tickets and let you on the train.

The only thing they're changing is getting rid of the bored, fat cunts that occasionally open a barrier for a pushchair.
