In heavy traffic maybe , but if the traffic is light why would you want
to
be stuck behind a bus that keeps stopping when the road is
clear ahead? It wouldnt be so bad if passengers could just board
the bus and the conductor take the money , but of course with cheapo
OP operation theres always some faffing around with fares even if
the majority use oyster. And of course that delays the bus and
everyone stuck behind it.
