They weren't even called conductors. But their presence did mean that most
people boarding at the rear platform did touch in. But no-one checks that
people boarding through the middle door touch in, so I'd have thought fare
evasion was already much greater on these buses than normal two-door buses.


Which is ironic given one of Boris' reasons for ditching the bendy buses was
the fare evasion aspect.
