Default Ticket checks on bendy buses

I'm wondering if it's a Boris-ism, designed to make bendies less popular
by kicking off all the freeloaders who, obviously, think they're the
best thing since sliced bread. *Employing lots more ticket inspectors
could also be a cunning ruse to push the cost of bendies up so he can
show that the Borismaster isn't so expensive either.

Hurrah for ticket inspectors!


I can only ever remember one ticket check on a bendy, and they didn't
get past the first seat before having to stop the bus and call the
police.

It was since Boris as it happens.
