Understanding the UX of 
rail ticket machines

Examining the user experience of rail ticketing machines, and the issues surrounding their usability

Our mission is to make things work better for everyone.

We think this improves people’s lives. At the core of this mission is understanding behaviours – why do people do the things they do? Then we apply these learnings to the design process.

Whether it’s environments, experiences, products or systems, we have over 40 years’ experience in helping our clients better understand their users, and designing accordingly.
