Cards coming to vending machines, toll roads
Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages is working with MasterCard and USA Technologies Inc. to equip 1,000 vending machines with e-Port cashless transaction solutions to accept credit card payments. CSAB's machines (selling Dr Pepper, 7Up, Snapple and Canada Dry) in Dallas, New York and Chicago will be enabled to accept major credit cards, including MasterCard's PayPass.
Also, MasterCard, USA Technologies and Paywerks Inc. are conducting a PayPass trial at exit lanes and service plazas on the Ohio Turnpike, reportedly the first toll road in the country to accept payment cards for self-service toll transactions.
