If you recall the style of bus widely used before LFBs were widespread,
there was a little metal barrier on the right hand side of the entrance
door, to make you walk next to the driver. During the PassRight trial
these were removed - so if you had a pass of any kind you could board
the bus on the right hand side and not need to show your pass.

This is something about Oystercards which is annoying me already. Up to
now, it was possible to walk on the right past the person who is paying
the driver in cash, whilst waving your Travelcard, and then just walk
down the bus.

Now, I have to queue up on the left side of the door, so that I can
reach the Oystercard reader.

Certainly, for me, at busy stops, it has made boarding buses *slower*
than before.
