Prompts the thought that some commuters will end up using 2
buses where usually it's only one. And the extra GBP 1.45 will
matter to some of them. It'd be nice if TfL could do something to
address the point. Could they instruct drivers to issue "bus transfer
tickets" where routes are curtailed? (Not something I've seen them do
routinely.)


A little less than 1.45/journey with the cap (assuming a return
journey), but yes, it would be a nice move to issue transfers, or
better -- get Oyster to do it. I don't know if it's possible to
enable free transfers at all or per route, other than making half the
route free, or just letting everyone on for nothing at the first stop.

I've bored before that bus transfers are the right thing anyway. (And
no NR-LU price difference.)
