It shouldn't have potentially cost millions more by going with another contract to implement common sense features. If you're in the business of designing machines like this, it should come to mind that: these things need to be usable by people with disabilities. It doesn't take a team of engineers to come up with a little pocket to put a card in for 1 minute.
The ION is useful, but it was a complete shambles to get here and now transit riders are still stuck with a very buggy fare payment system and the train is still without a working ATS system (as far as I know) greatly limiting our speeds...not that it can really go fast anywhere but the completely grade separated areas, because of the terrible drivers.
