Default easy to fare dodge on new bendy buses

Agreed. The penalty fare on all modes should be increased to be
similar to the fine for parking offences, i.e. around gbp60, with
discount to gbp30 for prompt/on-the-spot payment, and increased to
gbp90 if not paid within N weeks.

Certain exceptions should be introduced, however; someone who has
genuinely forgotten their season ticket could be given 7 days to
produce it at an appropriate location, when the PF could be cancelled
(but subject to an administrative fee of perhaps a couple of quid).
