Some bus companies just nod you on to the bus if you have a pass. Others ask for your destination & issue a ticket which records the details
Obviously this is useful for them when it comes to claiming the money back from the council, while still leaving scope for arguing over discounts for bulk.
But it raises the interesting statistical question of what data is used to settle the matter with those companies which do not record every detail
It also comes as a bit of a surprise & sometimes a little confusion to those passengers who are used to just getting on & sitting down.
Today I witnessed, for the first time, a very belligerently indignant reaction.
What on earth has it got to do with you, where I’m !* @! going?
