Word origin

自动 (zìdòng, "automatic") + 取票 (qǔpiào, "collect a ticket") + 机 (jī, "machine") names a machine that issues a booked or purchased ticket.

Usage tips

Automatic describes how the ticket is collected, not necessarily how it is bought; an order number, identity document, or QR code can link the passenger to the ticket.
