It's not like having I live there. an Oyster card is that much of a hardship, and nor is it like the credit on it expires if unused. And if you forget it or lose it why should you pay more for the same service? and the ability to pay cash fares, at a justifiable premium for the delay they cause other passengers (80 people on a double decker delayed for 15 seconds each by someone fumbling for their change is a cumulative 20 minutes waste of time for which they are being charged 95p, or considerably less than 50% of minimum wage), is going to continue to exist. The only reason there is a delay paying is because of one person operated buses. Another genius cost cutting idea by TfLs predecessor. No one would think a train driver collecting fares is a good idea but for some reason the idea a bus driver should do it passes unremarked. And I guess you've never seen the fuss when someones Oyster card doesn't work and they stand there for 5 mins arguing with the driver? B2003 |
