Ah I thought you meant the standard fare if you get caught by a inspector for example :-/

On the 110 This afternoon (Tues) in Corp'n st (B'ham) A young  guy 'flashed' a fare reciept at the driver as he quickly brushed past every one else....Fortunately the driver was no mug...he switched off the engine and collared the guy..after pretending he couldn't find his 'pass' he just walked off and jumped on 4931 (904) presumably to try the same thing again... >:( >:(  does this happen often????

Yes, seen it numerous times, some people try it and the moment the driver opens his mouth walk back off again, others (usually the ones with a status symbol of a dog with them, on a chain not a leash) try it and then mouth off something chronic at the driver telling him to shut up and drive, then eventually gets off and continues to wait at the stop

Yesterday morning some fella got on my 37, fumbled around in his pockets then flashed what must have been an off-peak pass at the driver, as the driver then got into an argument with him about how he can't use that pass before 9:30 (it was about 8:45 at the time), and that it wasn't worth him losing his job if he let him on. The guy then told him 'I'll take my chances' and then sat down! Fair play to the driver, he stood his ground and refused to move the bus. I'm not sure of the final outcome, as I got off, only because we were at the stop before I would get off normally and walked the rest of the way. The bus did drive past me a couple of minutes later.
