    Another good video Mike. I used to get in trouble with the revenue letting kids on the bus without an Oyster card. I told them I couldn’t leave the kids at a bus stop when they should be behind a desk. I was called in a few times at the garage but never got into trouble.

    In Dublin buses take cash but it is exact coins only all the cash goes into a safe this was brought in in the 90s due to attacks on drivers. There is also a system called the Leap card very similar to the oyster card which about 90% of passengers use.

    • @_Mikes_Life
      @_Mikes_Life  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sounds like a good idea. Society has created a need for card payments. It’s almost as if we’ve forgotten what cash is for. Thanks for watching.

      @@_Mikes_Life the cash system will likely be phased out soon. They like to copy TFL a lot here. The problem with cash is the cash payments take longer to process and make dwell times longer.

      The blue for non emergency and red button for emergency on the MDT. The green button at the top is to talk to the garage controller. Each controller will run 2,3 or 4 bus routes.
