Default TfL To Remove Roadside Ticket Machines For Buses

Just noticed this on the TfL website

https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/bus...d/consult_view

Reason given is that very few (approx 1%) of bus journeys involve a cash fare.

Have to say that my experience of these machines is that they cause confusion for tourists, and often delays as the driver waits for someone to get off the bus, fiddle around and buy a ticket, and then get back on.

Most regular travellers will have a travelcard or Oyster PAYG, as will some visitors, but there will always be a need for some people to pay by cash.
