First's new money making scheme - bus drivers don't carry a change float


Recommended Posts

You really are an arguementative poster, arent you? Have you tried Dr Oetker home baking kits? They really do chill you out, and are yummy to boot. My favourite ones are individual cakes that are cyclist shaped. It really gives you a sense of pleasure when you bite their helmet shaped topping off. Great stuff.:suspect::suspect:

 

Are you a closet pornstar :hihi:

From ticket machine installed all over the city or from newspaper shops etc. and in the bus you mark it in a small denote machine. It's working in the Europe so why it could not work in here?

 

They originally had ticket vending machines at the tram stops here, didn't they?

So why aren't the machines there now?

 

They took them out due to taking to long to get your ticket. you had one machine to buy your ticket then you had to put it in another machine to validate it and if there was a queue of people you missed the tram.This was before theuy had conductors on board.

Those machines to validate the ticket should be inside the bus. I have absolutelly no problem anywhere with this system when travelling through Europe.

I am a bus driver in sheffield, and i always have £5 in 20p, £5 in 10p and a couple of £1 coins and 50ps

 

all it takes is one customer to ask for a fare of eg £1.40 and present me with a £10 or £20 note, which wipes out all my change, so when another person gets on asking for a £1.40 fare and gives me £2.00 i'm stuck.

 

ok, some people say carry more change, but how much?? if 4 people get on with large notes, i'm expected to carry about £40 in change???

 

First ask when drivers first start if they would like a £5 float, i refused and carry my own.

 

Easy solution, you know you are going to get a bus home / to work etc, have the right change, or at least don't present notes to drivers early in a morning.
