One idea that might help would be for Tube ticket machines to be able to
issue bus single and day tickets for cash. But that's not a lot of help at
3am when you've lost your Oyster card but have a bit of emergency cash, and
unlike other modes of transport you couldn't choose to sneak on and risk
the (unlikely in the early hours I'd think) possible penalty fare.

It's also no good if you're in an area with no tube stations.
