This is a real machine in Romania. Do 20 squats in front of it, and it prints you a free bus ticket.

Doing their bit to preserve Slavic traditions.
(Yes, I know Romania is not Slavic, though they share the region’s squatting-in-tracksuits culture to an extent.)

She’s not a machine. She’s a woman, a human being. Do not objectify her.
Edit: Oh, wait… Now I see it.
The box she’s facing is a machine.Maybe she's a digital fantasy. Did you look for extra fingers and such?

omg, I just realized she has hands

That's... kinda clever
Yeah, why is this a shitpost? It’s more of a life hack.

Back in 2006/7 I worked at the agency on record for a lot of huge brands and we had just gotten Pepsi. So the CD asked my department (interactive) if we could come up with something unique before we had the big kickoff with their staff. I don't know which one of us came up with the idea but a we decided to make a soda machine that would give you a free Pepsi if you hugged it. Got a machine and went to work engineering it, installing a screen so it can display graphics and a message. They loved it. We ended up redesigning a machine from scratch that could sense hugs or just a smile and made a commercial from it. That was back when designers were given fun tasks to be as creative as possible.

Make a wild guess about what happens when I do a squat.
-
I usually do 10 squats. Would I get half a ticket?
Ten squats? You will be allowed to run after the bus as it leaves the station but the but won't stop and wait for you.

I have been doing weight training with my 70 year old mom for a year and a half; At this point she can do 15 front loaded squats with a 10 kilos barbell easily. She would be zooming on free tickets all over town!

I wonder whether it checks that you're going to parallel at least or no reps you

The box she’s facing is a machine.Wait until you find out where she prints the tickets from.
It's the machine in front of her.

One of the biggest strains on a government is the health of its citizens. Decreasing obesity and other risk factors through physical activity will save them quite a bit more than a bus fare.

And it's all paid for by one pervert who sits across from the machine.

Whenever I see this I think "wow, cool idea, wish we had something like this in the US." And then I think "it's just asking for a discrimination lawsuit so unlikely." And then I think "well we should be making public transit free for everyone anyway." And then I think "until we get our housing affordability and mental health crises resolved, free transit proposals just becomes a fear magnet ("roving homeless shelters!!!" "crime train!!!"). And then I get sad.
Disability protections are generally a great thing, and the US is significantly more accessible than many countries for them, but I've watched a lot of cool, creative ideas get torpedoed because of them. Instead we're stuck with car dominance because "everyone can drive, not everyone can walk/bike/take the bus" (inb4 "wtf that's not remotely true" ... I know, but car brain doesn't).
