The Cleveland RTA fare machines have a terrible interface. I know of more than one person who has missed connections because of it. This is not news.
But having successfully navigated said same interface, the machine would not take my money. It claimed to only accept exact change - but I had exact change, and it would take neither coins, bills nor my debit card (watch there be a skimmer...). Then I heard my train come in, so I sprinted for it.
So I am now on a train without paying my fare. Scofflaw! (Of course, I explained this to the operator, so maybe not so much. I try to save my illegalities for things that matter.)
