But the whole point of the fare structure is to
encourage people not to use cash fares.

The cost of a daily bus pass has gone from GBP2 to GBP3 in a short period of
time (2 years?), and I don't see how that can be explained in terms of
wanting to discourage cash fares.

Incidentally, this is the first time ever that the bus fare structure is so
complex that I don't fully understand it! But I can see I'll have to abandon
Saver Tickets, with which I am very happy, for Pre Pay. So I'll have to
grasp the nettle of some new technology, even though my current public
transport usage is one midday return bus journey once a week
