Why is there Braile at drive-up ATMs?

February 2, 2010 - 12:06 pm 12 Comments

Could a blind person really drive! And dont say well maybe they are a passenger and they dont wanna tell anyone their pin cuz you’re not allowed to get out of the car in those things! thats the whole point!

It because they use the same buttons from the regular ATM’s, as they do for the drive up ATM’s. Why make two sets of buttons when you can make one?

    Because if someone is blind they might walk right past the walk-up ATMs.

    Why are there locks on the doors at Store 24? Some questions are best left unanswered.

    All ATM’s are standardized. To have differnet ones for drive and walk up would be more costly.

    Why not is the question. If it costs the same to manufacture an ATM with Braille as without, then why not. It doesn’t harm the seeing person to have Braille on the keypad. It’s more cost effective. Drive up ATM’s really aren’t drive up. They’re just placed so that you can drive up. In reailty most people have to unbuckle lean out and contort themselves to use those ATMs.

    Its a courtesy to all those blind drivers out there!

    Or, maybe its for all the really dumb ones that see, but can’t even read a road sign.
