Instead of the driver putting it in the little laminated pouch he just handed them both to the passenger so she could do it ourself.WHen i used to get them from GNE I would always ask if I can do it as the way some of them do it is awful, but there was a few where the drivers would literally throw the plastic thing at them to do it themselves, a lot of them just put it in their pocket and one I followed ask a random driver if he could do it.
That was a bad move...
She struggled figuring out which way to put the ticket in, and how to peel the protector off the adhesive, and somehow she ended up putting the ticket in backwards so it was just a blank piece of paper!
Not sure what her ultimate fate was, I'm guessing she would have been too embarrassed to go back to the driver to ask for help, I would!

Personally I think drivers should ask if they can do it themselves, also if she is just going to buy another weekly ticket (i think i would do that) she is going to waste £20 and her experience as a passenger isn't going to be a good one.
