I gave him £2, then he said to the driver that he only had £2(!) although he had a few silver coins in his hand. So another £2 later he was able to buy a ticket. I didn't want the bus to be any later than it already was...
To be honest, he wouldn't have been on the bus much longer without payment. His fault he needed to get the bus, not yours.
I'll never, ever give money to a beggar in the street (I might buy a packet of crisps and give them that or something, if I'm feeling generous) but I'll give to some (good) buskers.
