Do out-of-London bus passes work on London bus touch-pads?

In the mirror image of the OPs question, my London Freedom pass worked perfectly well on the card readers on Brighton buses last Saturday. Not sure how all the reconciliation between LAs works. London has a flat fare scheme, so each journey can be costed, but I doubt if that's true for Brighton. Tunbridge Wells to Brighton must cost more than, say, Brighton to Rottingdean. I wondered about that myself. The standard way of using Oyster on a London bus is just to touch in, but outside London most bus fares depend on the distance. At present you have to tell the driver your destination, and he gives you a ticket for a given fare. If you have a bus pass, the ticket is priced at zero to you, but the system knows how much to charge the local Council. But if you just touch in at the start of the journey, the system has no knowledge of how far you are going. So how does this work in other places: do you have to touch in AND touch out? -- Clive Page |
