Using the bus (tram/train/tube) & not a car helps lower #carbonemissions
Busy commuters need a system that works for them.
Tap in & out is okay with barriers but not on buses.
You get to your stop, you're heading for #work, it's crowded you jump off the #bus before it takes off again BUT you didn't tap in the dash.
Unsurprising & an extra stressor.
Needs a rethink.
