  • Dual magazine recirculating transport
    Patent number: 6805286
    Abstract: A ticket transport machine accepts fare media cards of various types and dimensions through an input bezel. The card is then fed through entry rollers where it is transported onto a rotating transport carrier and passed under a reader/writer antenna. The reader/writer antenna reads information encoded onto the card and based upon this information, the machine determines if the card can be re-circulated for later use. The card is then deposited into a storage stacker magazine where it can be retrieved at a later date for reissue to another user.
