I got on at the front door and tapped my card this morning


But, like many bus passengers, you were presumably travelling free?


only to me

my ride is still "accounted for" in order to work out how much my LA
should
pay - as part of an averaging process, not directly for that ride.


It's only accounted for as a way of divvying up a fixed budget. It doesn't
affect TfL's income.


I know

I thought that was what I said (albeit a long way round)

but OTOH, of they aren't taking money for paying punters, the deficit that
has to be made up will be greater
