Default Bus tickets - single?

if the card has now been used for the first time


for TfL it can probably be used again in a shop without the first time PIN.




Except I've never been asked for that "first-time" PIN. Have you?




No. But then I don't use contactless. There was a reason PINs were required


for using cards - that reason hasn't gone away just for conveniences sake


and because people are too lazy or too stupid to spend 10 seconds entering


one.



PIN pads on TfL gates would slow down the throughput a tad.
