Rather irate first bus driver


Recommended Posts

A genuine question if anyone can answer this apropos the phasing out of the counterparts -

 

How will this work on the trains - where the ticket machines aren't configured to read the travelmaster cards and the collectors rely on reading the printed part?

 

Thanks in advance.

I would like to know this as I have had several machines not read my card correctly and there is no way to tell whether a smart card is valid/in date just by looking at it.

 

They (counterparts) are definitely being phased out it says so on buses.

Half correct, but a bus is not a public place in this definition. It is private property. If the photographer was outside the bus thats fine, but on it is not.

 

No it's still legal to take a photo on a bus as long as it's for personal reasons (in this case) and not for commercial reasons.

Although in this case the person was off the bus

If it's out of date it says so, I used one that was out if date and it came up invalid (or something similar I think)

There are no dates on the cards.

 

How are you supposed to use them

 

a) if the machine doesn't work - which has been known

 

b) on the trains
