Fun and games can occur when a LA allows OAPs "extra" time before the

The examples below are correct but not your above expression of the
principle.

Not OWN OAPs but rather concession BusPass holders boarding in that
LA's AREA.

There are a few other wrinkles outside London.

OAPs on Whippet buses are required to place the pass on the smart card
reader until the destination number can be keyed. A zero value ticket
is then issued. The London freedom card, not being ITSO compliant, is
not acceptable to the reader.

London's Freedom Passes were all reissued recently. The new ones, valid
from 1 April 2010, incorporate both ITSO and Oyster technology, and
should be compatible with both systems.
