all atm's are made exactly the same, so they wouldn't know which one was going to be put in a drive thru. Therefore, all key pads have the braille, as they wouldn't make a few without, it wouldn't be cost efficient.

The ATM machine wasn't designed to be just a drive-up ATM. It is cheaper to manufacture all of the ATMs with braille numbers on them than to manufacture them without for drive-up ATMs. Of the ones that I've seen, the machines are the same except for how they are fixed to the ground. Besides, what if a backseat blind passenger needs to use the ATM?

Because there might be a blind driver who uses a seeing eye dog, you know, like that talking dog on family guy? Actually, I've done a walk-up on a drive-thru atm and used it just fine. Blind people sometimes do that or are even passengers in cars and get out and walk around to keypad - so they don't have to give their pin etc. to the driver, right? Silly.

Well, based on some of the dumb-*** drivers on the road these days that drive like they are blind.... as well as stupid... maybe somebody with the ATM companies had a sense of humour!
Actually, they probably just use a standard ATM and keypad as it's probably too costly to make special ones. Makes sense to use a single style machine for all ATM's.. it reduces costs.

hi, great ?. I install atm's for Chase Bank and we ask ourselves that all the time. To look back at an answer that it's mass produced is incorrect. The atm's in a drive up are made with braile in case a taxi with a blind person in back. Now, I have a story, 6 mos. ago I installed an atm at THE CHICAGO LIGHTHOUSE for the BLIND, and the atm delivered was NOT equipt with braile. We had a good laugh.

Because they also make walk up ATM's and the design is pretty universal. Another reason has to do with the Americans with Disabilities Act...meaning that it must be where anyone without discretion can use the device.

Maybe a blind person would step out of a car and use the ATM. Maybe they would walk up to the ATM.

All the keys are made that way to cover all locations. They really aren't needed at drive through ATM machines.

The person operating the ATM might not be the driver.
Good Luck with your perception!

I know! like they'd be driving a car, maybe blind people walk up to the atm?
