Oddly, bus travellers aren't being fleeced to the same extent, even

Certainally those using weekly bus passes are with a rise from £11 to
£13.50 are getting stung. I'm surprised that weekly bus passes haven't been
added to the Oyster range at a lower rate.

But isn't the long term plan to make all buses cash free and push
everything on to Oyster, prepaid paper tickets and curb side ticket
machines?
