It always seems to happen in the morning when some woman has to fumble
through her purse looking for an Oystercard, and then starts yelling at
the driver when he says that he needs to drive off.

It's amazing how many people stand at the bus stop for 5 minutes and
only remember that they have to pay just as they board the bus.
