Oh dear... That is unfortunate... It is going to make a right mess of the traffic and no mistake. Just hope no-one was hurt.

So from this we can extrapolate that socialising on buses leads to arguments that enrage the participants so much they spontaneously combust.
That would make for a difficult insurance claim.

It looks rather familiar to me as well... Come to think of it, it resembles somewhere I will be several times in about a months time...

No, but look closely at the destinations offered by the bus stop.....
EDIT: ah I see Pinwig's spotted it!

I never fail to be amazed how difficult it is still to find out the cost of bus fares online in the space year 2018. This would not irritate as much in a world without 'exact change only'.

It's against their interests to tell you how much so you give them extra money!

People still use cash on buses?

Not everywhere is contactless yet..... And for those that are there's the question of how a child pays.....

I always prefer to pay by cash on the bus, sometimes they don't have the machines or look really scary if you ask them.

Its amazing how long London has had oyster/contactless. More accurately its amazing how many places still are cash only or if they have finally gone for some kind of oyster/contactless its amazing how badly implamented it is.

People still use cash on buses? It is the only option in Edinburger. I was getting a bus from another location to Glasgow yesterday and was utterly amazed it had a contactless pay option! Never seen that on a bus before (and I am a heavy bus user for work). I also work in some deprived areas where many folk don't have bank accounts so can only use cash. -Ralph |

Threw The Kaptain completely on a visit a few years back. It did indeed. I'd never encountered the idea before. It was something that apparently visitors to the south of England were just supposed to know, and to be able to operate without any guidance at all - other than the bus driver shouting "DONTAKEASHOYSTAH!" at one. Which was...less than helpful when one was unclear what shellfish had to do with anything. In the end I discovered that I could get on a bus buy paying an undisclosed sum of money by means of a debit card, and receiving no confirmation I had purchased the right to travel on said bus or how much I had paid for it after the event. (To this day I am still unclear as to what the fare actually was - which does not impress me as a way to run a public transport service). Buses around here all take cash and give change, and only the bus company owned by the University have contactless payment machines on them at all. As far as I am aware cash money is generally the only way one can buy a ticket on the bus here. (I am also used to it being the norm in most places I have been in. It is relatively rare for me to encounter card payment options on a bus. Karl |

That is fantastic! This is the future folks, this is the future right here!
Woah woah woah! The 249 to Clapham Common is expected in Clapham Common Old Town in six minutes, but is currently driving off road across the common itself! It's gone rogue!

No it isn't, just shout loudly as you leave via the rear door.
