I'd love to see them try that on in court.


They already have:

Thats not the same because you can get off a bus without swiping out. This
isn't the case on the tube (well ok , you could jump over the gates and
at certain stations like Finsbury park there arn't any gates however...).

In this case its a 100% certainty that TfL would have lost revenue. This
isn't the case for someone sitting on a tube train who has to swipe out
when he leaves the system.

Anyway , one wonders why the guy was stupid enough to give his name and
address. He should have just told them to eff off and got off the bus at
the next stop. If they tried to physically restrain him that would be assault.
