I was in Europe for two weeks and this was my only encounter of this happening. I wanted to share so hopefully no one else has to deal with those frustrating 20 minutes of confusion.
That's unfortunate considering that Visa's newest rules require cards without a PIN to work. I'd file a complaint with Chase and/or Visa and mention that. It's unlikely they'll add PIN to the card but enough complaints may cause the ticket machines there to be fixed.
