Some information on HW other than the touchscreen would have been interesting. On the Control Group product page (http://www.controlgroup.com/mta.html) the only extra info I could find that these use Qualcomm's Gimbal BT beacon technology.
How long until they're tagged/useless?
Also, most public transport riders don't want to touch anything. Wonder how often those screens will be disinfected/cleaned?

You could say that about most of the subway infrastructure, but the vast majority of the system remains clean. As per the article: "the kiosks can be power-washed".
