Installing the two machines is the first stage of a pilot program called xSellKiosk, according to a CFR Calatori press release. The program is divided into several stages, allowing the devices to be tested and monitored.

„The automated internal traffic ticket dispensers are easy to use, through a touch-screen, and are equipped with a POS. The devices encompass the modules and applications necessary to issue tickets and reserve seats, and provide a wide range of printable information on train departure and arrival times,” the press release says.

Over the next three weeks, the pilot program will be extended and have new features, such as special fee offers (return ticket, mini-group etc.) and reservations for sleeping cars. A further 10 automated ticket dispensers will be installed in CFR stations in county seats throughout the country, over the year 2010.

The second stage entails enabling payment through cash, later extending the program to cover the entire network, CFR Calatori said.
