This can be avoided by going for a bigger bus with more dedicated standing room downstairs. Revenue protection is clearly proving to be necessary, given the reputation of "uncle Ken's free buses". But then the UK never did, and probably never will, do penalty fares correctly[1]. [1] Forget prosecuting people, heavy-handedness or messing around. Just set the PF and enforcement to be at the level where the PF income from ticketless travellers, having deducted the cost of enforcement, equals (or to be safe slightly exceeds) the income that was lost by the fact that they didn't pay the proper fare. Then stop worrying about them, because they don't lose you money. Neil -- Neil Williams Put my first name before the at to reply. |
