Nowadays you have to buy your ticket from a machine that can't give

have a note, rather than coins, forget about trying to travel! Is this
what's called "progress"? "Progress" is evidently a vector quantity: it
can be (and often is) negative! Or at least, it is only positive as seen
by the company, rather than the customer.

This is what seems most odd about the new policy in Central London. A lot
of the routes have Routemasters with conductors who are presumably not now
allowed to take fares. Stupid.
