So I have to get an Oyster for what is in
fact just two tickets so far this year.

And make sure you have it on you whenever you might need it... which in
practice means all the time... and sooner or later, you'll end up
permanently carrying a different smart card for each city where you might
want to ride a bus, and have a 3 pound deposit on all of them. Maybe you
should go everywhere by car, at least that way you could carry all the
public transport smartcards in the glovebox.

I don't have an Oyster. For the small amount that I use public transport
these days, it wouldn't make that much sense. I haven't yet run out of the
bus savers I bought before the fares went through the roof in January. But
TfL are so determined to fine those of us who persist in thinking of our own
convenience instead of theirs. Maybe they should abolish 75% of the bus
stops while they are at it, since their convenience is so much more
important than ours.
