Metcard ticket validator

Recording of a Metcard ticket validator.

Originally recorded on my Sony Ericsson W800i phone in 2007 at Boronia Station for a school animation. I have cleaned up the audio quite a bit, but if you want to listen to the original recording, it can be heard here. https://freesound.org/s/702295/

The Metcard was a credit card-sized ticket made out of cardboard and used a magnetic strip to store fare data. You would have to insert the ticket into these green validating machines which would read your ticket and print the expiry on the ticket.
