Does anyone else think this is highway robbery?


Yes, I think it is very poor to penalise people for making journeys
that require a change over those who do not, though there is the
logistical issue of avoiding people passing interchange tickets on to
other passengers on exiting the bus.

However, this is the traditional way in which buses tend to be
operated in the UK in most locations - transfer tickets are rare
(though day tickets are quite common). Old habits die hard.
