Hmmm, but if tfL decide to chase up this fare evasion you'll be
screwed. It's all on their computer.........!

What fare evasion? He had a loaded Oyster card and used it correctly when
joining the bus and the Oyster machine accepted his card. That the machine
is taking the wrong amount isn't the fault of the user.

But TFL have not made Oyster Pre Pay available for use on its buses
yet, hence it is not available as an acceptable medium for paying your
fare. That it charges you 1p is irrelevant, you are not using a valid
and recognised form of ticket and are therefore evading paying your
correct fare.

Five hail Marys and a donation in the poor box please...
