With the bus strike in north london today they've been saying on the radio
that bus passes will be accepted on reasonable alternative routes.


What bus passes? I thought it was either Oyster or cash now. Or are there
special bus only Oyster cards?


There is a 7 day, monthly or longer Bus and Tram Pass. This is issued
on an Oyster Card. The Daily Bus Pass has been replaced by the PAYG
cap for bus and tram travel.


Instead of a weekly bus pass people could buy a ( for example ) zone
2/3 weekly Tube travelcard for almost the same price; this could be
used on the Tube in those zones and on every London bus.
