It's impossible. I just had a fight with a bus driver over this.

"Single to X please"

"No"

"I'll pay you, whether personally or your employer, an entire £10 (the fare's about £1.50) to take me to X"

"No"

"£20?"

"No. Go somewhere else (there was nowhere near this particular bus stop to buy one and I'd have missed that bus even if there was) and buy a card so we can follow you everywhere you go"

It's fucking scary. Or would be if I lived permanently in this shithole. Haha!

Recent events rather than persuading me to get bank account and card have entrenched my position not to get one. Things should not be like this and fuck any and everyone who's OK with it.
