And "get away with" what exactly?


People with period travelcards loaded on Oyster cards should touch in
on all buses. However, if they do not, I imagine that they will get
away with it, ie if checked they will not be penalized.


And what do they get away with? How do they gain?

It's a rule created purely for the purpose of catching people out for
breaking a rule. Typical of the rules surrounding the introduction of
Oyster (and crooks like Ryanair of course).
