You know how if you have pre-Pay on your Oyster, you are allowed to pass
it to a friend to use?

No, if you have an Oyster that *only* has Pre-Pay you are allowed to
pass it
to others. Not quite the same thing.

What if you have an Oyster with pre-pay on it and also a bus pass, as I
do? Can I lend it to someone to go on the Tube with, as then the
pre-pay kicks in? Not that I particularly plan to, just interested.

No. 'Season Ticket' type Oyster cards are *not* transferable, only
free-standing PrePay Oyster cards are.

Fair enough - although you would have thought it wouldn't matter if only
the Pre-pay was being used; I quite see it would be cheating to allow
the season ticket to be used by someone else.
