Leaving it on the pavement while buying a ticket from the driver is

When did I say anything about leaving it on the pavement? My assumption
would be that they would board at the centre door, stow it, wait for the
doors to close and then move forward in the bus to pay the driver. Or if
they have Oyster, have a reader there so no need.
It can also often be very efficient to give people in that position free
or unchecked travel.
Right. The buses round here don't have centre doors. And many parents would
leave a child out of their sight, even in the middle of a bus.
