This is something about Oystercards which is annoying me already. Up to
now, it was possible to walk on the right past the person who is paying
the driver in cash, whilst waving your Travelcard, and then just walk
down the bus.

Now, I have to queue up on the left side of the door, so that I can
reach the Oystercard reader.

Good - I HATE it when people behind me queue jump just because I am paying for
a ticket and someone behind thinks they have the right to get past me just
because they have a pass. I normally try to stand in such a way as to prevent
queue-jumping anyway.


Oh don't be so daft. It's not queue-jumping - it's merely trying to get
everyone on the bus as quickly as possible.

I mean, at a tube station, do you queue at the ticket machine even when
you already have a travel card, or do you go straight through the gates
and "queue jump" all the people who were in the station before you.

Many apologies if ever I have stolen the seat you were about to take!
