It looks as if Oyster readers are not working on any London bus today.
Why not?

Complete guess but I would expect a software change / download to be the
problem. All the gates are "on line" so can have revised software
downloaded quickly. Buses would get it via the garage system and hence
the comments from TfL about buses needing to go back to garages to be
"reset" later today.

All the buses I used this morning had "defective" card readers. One
driver had put a piece of paper over the reader saying "free day" and
happily telling everyone that it was a "special offer day" on the tube
and buses.
