Did The Tube Strike Show The Value Of Cashless Buses?

We won’t know yet, as Transport for London, won’t have done the analysis, but as the buses took the strain during the Tube strike of the last two days, it will be interesting to see how much extra cash they took.

If it was very little, then most of the extra passengers were using Oyster or contactless bank cards.

But I did see a group at a bus stop, examining cards to see who’d got ones that worked on the buses.

I suppose, if that is correct, that Bob Crow, has shown Londoners how good cashless travel can be!
