A lot of child fare fraud has been taken off the buses by removing
child fares and requiring the use of Zip cards. Clearly some kids do
faff about with the cards but fraud is low. The use of flat fares
also makes overriding fraud go away too.

In Nottingham they scrapped child "all day" bus fares because of rampant
pass-back fraud.

If numerous kids are going to travel on the same ticket, you might as
well make sure it's a full-fare one.
