The other day I boarded a bus and the leaflet rack
behind the driver held booklets entitled "A staff
guide to ticketing on London's buses"

to quote page 20:

Any female passenger wearing a Burqa or Yashmak
can hold a valid Photocard, that shows the face
similarly covered, to support a valid Bus
Pass, Travelcard or LT Card.

Under *no* circumstances should a female passenger
be asked to uncover her face or be refused travel
when holding a valid ticket supported by such a Photocard.

However, she may be asked to uncover her vagina to prove she is female... I
don't think they've thought that one out.

Does it say anything about certain Amerindian tribes, who refuse to be
photographed because they believe that a camera takes away part of their
soul?
