So tap on. Always. Even if the bus is empty and you’re positive the driver is your new best mate. Just tap. Then sit down, enjoy the ride, and never fret about tapping off again.
Final thought: London buses are one of the few places in life where the exit is simpler than the entry. No goodbyes, no extra charges—just a flat fare and a vague sense of accomplishment. You’re welcome.
Now go forth and ride with confidence. And if you see someone frantically searching for a tap-off reader, buy them a coffee. They need it.
