On Newbury Buses the driver presses a button on the ticket machine for

I thought there was a requirement for a ticket to be issued under the
new rules. A possible reason for this might be to avoid drivers
sitting there prodding the pass button continuously in order to gain
the company more subsidy than is due.


On the assumption that they're too lazy to do so if it also means
having to throw away some tickets?
