How about no cash on the bus at all?

I knew about that. There are still benefits to paying by cash. If you
forget/lose your Oyster is just ONE example.
So why not let people still pay by cash but exact fare instead. And even
for a temporary measure for now its a good idea. Ken says buses won't be
100% cashless till 2006. So for next three years make everyone pay exact
fare and after a bit of confusion to start with things will speed up

So, let me get this right.

TfL pays for each bus to be fitted with a farebox to enforce exact
fare only.

Three years later 7,000 fare boxes get removed and thrown away at vast
expense.

What part of the phrase "value for money" does this meet?
