吴大伟：我们去窗口排队取票吧。
吴小咪：爸爸，不用去。
我们在自助取票机上取。
吴大伟：自助取票机怎么取？
吴小咪：很简单。
您先把身份证放到取票机上，然后在屏幕上点击“取票”，您买的票就会在屏幕上显示出来，最后点右下角“打印车票”就可以了。
车票会从取票机下面打印出来。
吴大伟：现在真是方便啊！
不但可以在手机上买票，还可以在机器上取票，连排队都不用了。
那现在可以去检票口了吧？
我们在几号口？
吴小咪：车票上有。
您看，车票上不但有检票口，还有发车时间，32A，九点半。
吴大伟：32A在……
吴小咪
：爸爸，看指示牌。32A
在三楼，往这边走。吴大伟
：哦，好的。咱们上去
吧。吴大伟：
我们几点开始检票啊？吴小咪：
等会儿广播会通知的，检票口的屏幕上也会有提示。吴大伟：
行，那我们就坐在这里等着吧。对了，一会儿
我们把票拿给检票员就可以上车了，是吧？吴小咪：现在
都是自动检票机检票了。您看，大家排队
进站，把票放进检票机，检票完成后，票会从上面的出口出来。门打开后，您拿
了票直接过去就可以了。吴大伟：好的，
明白了。为什么有的人没
拿车票也能过去？吴小咪：您也可以
直接用身份证在检票机上检票，不用取票。这样既简单又方便
。吴大伟：这个好，
也很环保。我们从上海回来的
时候也不取车票了，刷身份证上车。吴小咪：好！
