Default Ticketless Buses Zone 1?

But what you say is correct: queueing is one of those civilising feratures of
British life we ought not to surrender lightly.

Where it provides a service improvement, yes. I personally dislike
the use of multiple queues in banks, post offices etc - and very much
approve of the new electronic systems which are much fairer. I also
dislike McD's intentional use of multiple queues as an
anti-British-culture thing.

However, queueing for buses does not provide a service improvement.
Are you honestly saying you'd foresake an improvement in journey times
(a significant one, based on my European and London bendybus
experience) for a bus queue?

I for one wouldn't.
