Are not the rules that the driver/conductor of a bus turning short
either has to enure (as the driver eventually did) that he has
communicated with the following bus so that the transferring
passengers do not have to pay twice, or give EACH passenger that
asks
for it a transfer ticket?


And announces that they exist? Most people probably don't know.

The best solution would be to allow connectional journeys on buses
for
free. (i.e. if you touch in on a bus within an hour, say, of
touching
in on another bus, you don't pay another quid).


And what if you paid cash?


Same thing-just show your (time-stamped) ticket to the driver. It seems
to work in cities everywhere other than .uk!
