However, why can't they sell the ****ers at bus stops or on buses, for those
of us who need to make an initial bus journey in order to be able to buy a

Because then the bus would be held for much longer as more cash is
handled by the driver. There's also the issue that the bus ticket
machines don't issue mag-stripe tickets.

Of course when Oyster PrePay is up and running, the problem won't be
there any more....
