Smarte Carte

If you have seen the movie The Terminal with Tom Hanks, you probably may have noticed these luggage carts. . Hanks' character Viktor uses the change left in Smarte Carte machines to purchase food when he was stuck at the airport. This is seen at the Miami International Airport when a worker is returning the carts to their distribution locations at various terminals ready for rental.

Smarte Carte, Inc. is an American based corporation that provides passenger services such as self-serve luggage carts, electronic lockers, commercial strollers, massage chairs, and more... Emerging from bankruptcy in 2006, they were purchased for $370 million by Macquarie Bank of Australia.
