The most poplular ticket is the the one zone day ticket at £4.70, now raised to £5.10, which will soon wipe out the change floats of the drivers. Why on earth they didn't just make it a straight fiver is beyond me.
I suppose it depends on how many still pay cash fares? Granted that I'm not on a bus the amount of time a driver is, but most fares I see seem to be smart cards, app or contactless these days.
Perhaps moving to a contactless by default stance would encourage more to use it, as it's still largely assumed you're paying cash (unless you say otherwise)
