Will people with vision impairments know where the buttons are?

A man with a vision impairment is standing beside a transit ticket kiosk. The kiosk has lettering saying "TICKETS HERE" and TOUCH SCREEN ACTIVATED". The man has dark glasses on, and is holding a cane in his hand. The kiosk screen shows options of buying a day pass for $3 or a year pass for $300. He is shrugging his shoulders and looking confused about how he will make the right selection, as the touch screen has no buttons and makes it impossible for him to know where to press.
