I am interested to know if someone on here got on a bus between 04:20 and 04:29 this morning and paid the last cash fare on that route/bus?

I dare say TfL may dig out the statistic from the ticket sales data to find the absolute last ticket sold. They'll be able to give time, stop and route. I was going to do the night buses snapathon last night but the weather forecast turned rainy so I didn't bother. It would have been interesting to see what happened "on the ground" as the change kicked in but alas the opportunity was lost. |

A passenger on the 12 at 2pm today managed to blag a free ride from Barry Road to Peckham Rye Kings on the Rye as he didn't have an Oyster or contactless card. Welcome to the new world of blagging a freebie.

Welcome to the new world of blagging a freebie. Won't be so free when they get caught by Revenue Inspectors... Plus that person is lazy, that is a short distance they could have walked it.... |

Isn't there a few weeks grace where passengers with no other means of paying will be allowed a free ride? Whether the person is lazy or not they are entitled to use buses for the purpose they are intended. |

The person is not entitled to travel on the bus unless they contribute like every other person who contibutes, plus the distance between Barry Road & Peckham Rye is about a 10 minute walk, imo that is just laziness. A lot of people these days are just so lazy and will jump on a bus one or two stops which is a short walk... |

How do you know they was able to walk that distance? If he can approach a bus and waste a drivers time by doing that he can walk from Barry Road to Peckham Rye... From the description above it seems very Obvious that the person can walk... |

He boarded mid way up Barry Road which is about 10-15 min walk away to the Kings on the Rye stop. |

But seeing as the passenger had no way of paying for the journey, then of course he shouldn't be allowed on the bus! I have no sympathy for him/her!   |

And here lies the problem. This passenger doesn't count as being vulnerable. I have no problem with a passenger who clearly needs help, but for people like him, it makes a mockery of me paying for a weekly bus pass.

Topped up my oyster the other day and noticed they have put the £1.99 Mc Donalds voucher that was on bus tickets on the oyster receipt.
