The thing about all this is not the scale of the molehill, just that
when there is a molehill, however small, for which there is a

defenders refuse to contemplate addressing it.


And Tfl's attackers redefine the question as they go.

* "Auto-topup works on buses"

"I'm not letting TFL get their hands on my credit card"

"Bus drivers ought to be required to give change for a £10 note"

Tfl propose to close some ticket offices

"I want to go home, not queue at a London ticket office"

Etc.


I haven't quite followed your point. You seem to be identifying a
number of potential problems.

If some or even one of them had a simple solution, shouldn't it be
applied?

Are you saying "there's lots of problems, so we can't start solving
any of them in case people ask us to solve the others"?
