I feel like it's more of an issue with how they are doing the processing for cash fares than anything else. You get a transfer much faster if you pay by ticket than if you pay by cash as for some reason they seem to be waiting for some server response or something before allowing a transfer to print even though the fare box already validated the coins. Really they should be doing the server requests for cash fares asynchronously using a queue of requests rather than doing it synchronously and blocking when it has to wait for the server.
