Not sure about SFMTA but I know BART at Fremont is running Windows9x for its pay machines. Once I clicked the "add fare" button too fast and somehow dropped to desktop.

I made software for a few museum exhibitions with multiple interactive terminals (sometimes up to 30). At first we used WinXP/Flash, and later moved to Linux/Opera (to cut licensing fees and shorten development time). That was 6 years ago.

It looked to me like the kiosks themselves are OK but the PCs they communicate with got hacked.

Making life worse through technology, welcome to the future!
