Plus the scenario when the bus gets terminated short of the

drivers are supposed to issue a transfer ticket, but I'm not sure

that
happens often in practice. So if using PAYG Oyster you loose out by
paying for a 2nd ride.


Someone on this NG claimed that he touched in on the 2nd Bus and found
he had been charged nothing.

Maybe the software is set to ignore a second touch in on the same route
and same direction within a set time period ?

Anyone have a example such as a trip where they took a bus ride and
later in the day another in the same direction on the same route ?
