I got on a bus yesterday, with the driver ushering me on asap saying he didn't need to see my bus pass. I thought on putting your pass over the scanning machine it registered your, use enabling the bus company to claim the fare from the authorities.🤔

I remember in the old days OAPs just walked on showing their pass

then sometimes they started logging it and you could sometimes hear the driver clicking a clicky-thing (sorry - techy term) as they walke dpast

I can see why they would want them scanned to
a) check the pass is real
b) as you say - claim from "someone"

but I can see some route being "paid by the log" and some being more of a "just let them on" depending on the demand and the type fo passenger profile
but I am just making it up based on what I know and think rather than evidence

I rarely use the bus but quite often the scanner isn't working. Perhaps it wasn't working when you used it?

Scanners on London buses don't recognise OAP bus passes from outside the capital, you just have to wave them at the driver.

That's useful to know - I am planning to use mine in a few weeks!

Since when do terrorist suspects get granted bail? Or alternatively, since when do fertiliser delivery men work at 1:30am wearing balaclavas?

As the Famous Five would say, "That man looks foreign. Let's call the police!"

When the drivers were told
"eh mate - I'll give you a couple of hundred if the 2 of you drive this van to this location - cash - no need to tell anoyone"

and the peopel organising it were waiting a few miles away and were just about to set off when the driver s saw someone coming with headlights on full beam and panicked and ran

and reported back that "the cops came" - if they got away

then the person in the car reported it and the cops swooped suspiciously fast and got the drivers but the real targets was well gone

or something else - we do not have the info
