■From the news script
The Japanese National Railways, struggling with a deficit, has resorted to automating ticket counters as the ultimate result of its rationalization efforts. However, it's questionable whether this has actually improved service for customers. The abundance of information signs confuses unfamiliar passengers. Just figuring out the fare to their destination is a struggle.
Furthermore, signs that seem to say, "Those without coins, do not board," prompt passengers to carefully examine the contents of their wallets. Even after finding coins, they ponder how to use the all-purpose vending machine. A kind woman tells them, "Grandpa, that's the children's button," but they still don't quite understand.
