I've asked about this on another specialist list and will report back if
we can nail this down at all.


A question comes back: "when you swipe the Paywave card, does the terminal
on the bus give you a receipt"? (A small thermal printed
thing I suppose).

Oyster cards don't, as we all know.


OOI what do national twirly passes do on London buses?

Out in the sticks pax are given paper receipts, but I guess that's because
they aren't flat fare [1] and there needs to be some proof that the driver
has "claimed" the correct fare.

tim

[1] is there anywhere else in the county that runs a flat fare system across
their network?
