Default BUSES- Pay Before You Board

This is without doubt a stupid idea.
Twice on different buses someone got on the bus and tried to pay a
fare. Spent a couple minuites arguing with the driver. Then got off.
The bus waited for them to buy a ticket. The first time the bus driver
had to shout instructions to the person.
Buying tickets before you board a bus is a great idea. However not
allowing the bus driver to sell tickets is stupid.
Surely the bus drivers can be allowed to sell tickets? As well as
pre-pay?


Hmmm.. sometimes I've seen drivers sell tickets to people. But most of the
time people board trying to buy a ticket, the bus driver drives off when
they go to the machine to buy a ticket!
