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.


I did wonder about whether a button had been pushed so I started watching
and didn't see anything but that doesn't mean nothing happened.
