Have you actually got any idea how revenue collection is generally
handled on British buses, HaJo?
Clue: the London "pay before you board" area is not the way the rest
of the country works.

As soon as the only check is the bus driver, and there aren't any
inspectors in the buses, it's very easy to get through.

How? Drivers tend to notice people walking past them without paying.

Outside London, buses generally only have one door, by the driver.
Bendy-buses aren't very common.

Except the ex-London ones now spread out across the country.
