1978 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Some HSBC machines contain £5 notes. And in some countries ATM's will issue 2 separate currencies (Eg Swiss Francs and Euros near the borders), as they often have 4 note carrying cassettes or hoppers. However, as I previously said, the vast majority of machines now issue £10 and £20 notes. ATMs aren't cheap, and operators choose the model and configuration best suited for their needs. But the more prepayment passes and tickets that are issued the less cash will be taken on the bus, so less change will be available. The problem will get worse until ALL cash is eliminated on board.

woodmally Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Just went on the Stagecoach bus yesterday and picked up a leaflet "promoting" this for the benefit of passengers and drivers. I cannot see how it benefits passengers. They get a voucher that they have to use within a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot see how it benefits passengers. They get a voucher that they have to use within a month. It's not necessarily a month. It's the last day of the following month. So if you received a voucher on the 15th of feb you have until the 31st march to redeem it. Most vouchers I have refunded have been on the same day the passengers have received them.

I agree they should have it here as well. It would solve a lot of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
