Many of those types of screens are difficult to read.

Thank you for reporting. At the time staff arrived, no issues were found. The issue on the day this was reported, might have been the sun reflecting off of the screen. We will monitor going forward.

Once again, as I walked past this machine today, I encountered someone confused because they could not read the screen.
I’ve attached a more close-up picture to show how illegible the screen is compared to the machine on the north east corner in the parking lot next to pandemonium books and games.
I spent 10 minutes, trying to help a visitor from China, who was struggling to understand how to pay for parking.
The machine on the north east corner was had a readable screen, but the credit card reader did not work! I bumped into a second person who was struggling with that machine and walked through paying with them, and it would not read the credit card.
Please closely inspect and test both machines, because right now both are unusable.
Please text or call me at 617-794-5369 if you need any further clarification.

By the way, I saw the above comment from the city person that it must be glare from the sun, which it clearly is not. I am a techie very familiar with these type of LCD screens, and this one on the south west corner is failing and unreadable compared to the one on the north east corner.

And if there is sun glare making the screen unreadable, that's not a reason to close the ticket. Install an anti-glare coating or shade, or re-orient the machine.

This needs to be addressed and in the meantime, tickets should not be issued!

An updated view showing once again that the screen is very hard to read.
A couple of days ago when the weather was cooler, it was easy to read.
I am wondering if it is an intermittent problem is caused by higher temperatures.
