London Buses Go Cashless
Today was the first no-cash day on London’s buses and I took five trips. I didn’t see anybody board and offer cash.
Perhaps tomorrow, with the Tour coming and people returning to work will throw up some problems.
But after chatting with passengers and an off-duty driver, I think there won’t be much trouble.
The only people who seem to be against the move are the Green Party. Why? Perhaps they are jealous as they didn’t think of it or feel all buses should be free!

I’m just dreading the day I forget my oyster card and end up late for work.. or the day my lift with a friend falls through and I have to try and get home without it.

I have a feeling it will be such a rare occurrence, that people forget their Oyster, that staff have a Plan B to sort it out.
I have a Freedom Pass, but I always have an Oyster hidden in my wallet for when a friend comes to London, who doesn’t know the system or I want to go on the cable car.
If one of my credit cards were contactless, I’d use that as my emergency card. But none are!
