Metrolink earlier this week completed the installation of 133 new ticket machines at its stations across Southern California.

The new touchscreen ticket machines include a feature that predicts possible destination stations, automatic screen brightness, voice enabled technology, a headphone jack and braille keypads. The machines also dispense new tickets with added security features.

Over two years, Metrolink has installed the ticket machines at all 62 stations in its system. 

The machines, which replaced older models prone to mechanical issues, will help save the agency over $2 million in operating and maintenance costs annually, Metrolink officials said in a press release.
