I understand that for bus trips only a positive cash balance is required
and the full fare is deducted on entry. Obviously there is not a
graduated system of fares by distance and no exit checking so this is
the only way the bus system can work. You can therefore have 10p on
your card and make a 80p charge thus leaving your card with a negative
balance of 70p.

I know you understand the system a lot better than most of us, Paul,
but I'm *sure* that I've seen a pre-pay Oyster rejected on the bus
because it only had 50p on it. It would make sense, wouldn't it, to
require = 80p?

I've definitely been rejected by a bus for being too cheap (i.e. having
less than 80p credit).
