I don't use my Senior Pass a lot (we don't have that many buses round
here in rural Somerset) but when I do I get issued with a ticket. I
was in London at the weekend and the drivers there were happy to have
me simply show it to them - didn't even have to place it on the
Oyster reader. Was that correct? How do London organise the
funding?

It's similar if you have a paper travelcard, but I think the drivers
press some sort of counter button. I don't know if they have different
buttons for different types of pass.
