That bring me to this morning. Ticket reading on 93 not working so what does the driver do.......... lets everyone on who wants to buy a ticket on there card on the bus for nowt!!! Doesn't even ask them is they have any cash. must have let a dozen or more on in my 15 minute journey. and theires me, having just paid an extorsonate amount for a day ticket sitting trying to work out why GNE made such a loss!!If they didn't, someone would probably be on here complaining that they refused to carry passengers who only had card as a means of payment.
I'm not sure what else they could do in this scenario. It's not ideal, as you either leave people behind and spend time dealing with complaints, take the bus out of service and still deal with complaints, or carry them for free and get them moving to their destination.
