One day, future generations will be incredulous that we all put up with a public transport system in which every single passenger had to interact with the driver before it could move.
Obviously, in the bad old days we had conductors who were removed without - as far as I remember/know - any great technological innovation that made their job redundant.
Yes, would love to see a cost benefit analysis of that move, when you think how much it's added to journey times. Drives me nuts that even people with passes *still* have to interact with the driver. 😒 Interesting that Edinburgh has (v efficient) conductors.
Only on trams, not buses. And they’re more ticket checkers than conductors - the only tickets they sell are the penalty ones for not already having a ticket.
