Default CharlieCards v.v. Oyster (and Octopus?)

There are also boarding and alighting points which are "Bus Stop
(Compulsory)". All in-service stage buses on routes that serve
that point must stop there, regardless of whether they have been
flagged [down], or requested to stop by passengers on board.


That's one of the oddities in Geneva (and quite likely other places)
where it appears that every bus stop is compulsory. It'd never work here
in Nottingham with bus stops every couple of hundred yards.
