Thus the public might feel that a more accurate clause was:
"If you COMPLETE ONE journey using pay as you go on a bus

within one hour of first touching in."
But the author sees:
"If you MAKE A TOUCH-IN using pay as you go on a bus or tram,
you can MAKE a second bus or tram TOUCH-IN for free within one
hour of first touching in."

I agree its ambiguous, but the former is surely intended.

But what happens if you have to catch a 3rd bus because the 2nd one is
terminated early? A couple of times recently on a bus that I've been
using the driver has had instructions sent in by radio to stop his
service prematurely, perhaps because of congestion or too many of the
same route number in a convoy. So I've had to get off and get on
another bus that is following the same route. This doesn't cause me
more than mild annoyance as I have a bus pass, but if you are using
Oyster would this be included in the 2nd-bus-within-an-hour concession,
and if so how does the system handle it?

Back in the day wasn't the driver of the terminating bus supposed to
give you a chitty to show the following driver?

With emphasis on the "supposed", I seem to recall.
