2/ the scam on the buses that has been operated for years:

I've never been asked to touch in on the second bus when this has
happened (there was a lot of it round here recently). Someone is usually
give a huge ticket to take between vehicles. I would hope if inspectors
did get on, they would surely accept the previous bus stopping short as
a valid reason for only paying once.

Minor problems can occur when the next bus is a different number.
