Oyster Cards on buses - 50% failure rate?

I pointed out he was completely wrong, and he let me travel after a small amount of polite argument. But still.. I shouldn't have to endure this kind of hassle every time I want to get home. You are quite right, you shouldn't! Travel-cards for any zone combination have been valid on all bus routes (with a few exceptions) since summer 2002 IIRC Indeed. You'd have thought that bus drivers should know by now. I have been denied travel by bus drivers twice in the last 6 months despite having a valid Oyster issued Travelcard, and told that I did not have the correct zones. Even the Service Controller I asked at the bus station did not know about the changes. Strangely enough I was travelling for a whole year before that on the same routes and never had a problem with my paper based Youth LT Card. Anyway, there are no bus zones at all anymore, I hope the situation improves. Does anyone know if Bus Passes issued since 4th Jan are still showing Z1234 on the ticket? Does anyone know how exactly are bus drivers trained on accepting tickets/passes? Since there are so many different ticket types out there, are they shown every possible type? How are changes (such as the latest revision) communicated? Nicholas |
