But if someone does have a problem operation the machine, that person can buy tickets at the Metro office and ride the streetcar.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1472078119926_3397"><span>Judy Rudig</span></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1472078119926_3433"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"> <font size="2" face="Arial"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Elif Emir Öksüz via Cinci-nfb <cinci-nfb@nfbnet.org><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> NFB of Ohio Cincinnati Chapter List <cinci-nfb@nfbnet.org> <br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cc:</span></b> Elif Emir Öksüz <filerime@gmail.com><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, August 24, 2016 5:41 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Cinci-nfb] About the Cincinnati street car<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container"><br>Hi all,<br clear="none">Judy, thanks for this information.
