PlusBus Tickets

[Hadders]

PB themselves have also confirmed to me that it’s permitted to print off the e-ticket and use that on the bus, which of course is not permitted for train tickets.

Who's said you can't print off an e-ticket for use on a train?

I do apologise, I thought I’d read it somewhere but clearly I had a funny moment. I take it back.

It’s absolutely permitted to print a rail e ticket. It’s mtickets that you can’t print.

Yeah, as I’ve said

My PlusBus did scan correctly today from Google Wallet without disabling NFC on the phone.

This was with the PlusBus as the first of two passes in the bundle.

Confirmed with a second successful scan of the same PlusBus today in Google Wallet.

In neither case did I tap the pass again to bring up the full screen Aztec code.

These are the first two times I've ever had this work.

So something is up...

I used Stagecoach South, Brighton & Hove and Stagecoach South East today. I didn't see a ticket issued for any child fare, they were just waved on and recorded on the ticket machine.

To report back, 3 buses in Portsmouth, the first issued a ticket, the second and third just pressed a button. None had an issue with the mix of plus bus and free child

Not a positive experience in Colchester today, driver on the Park and Ride service adamant he didn't accept PlusBus so ended up having to purchase a new ticket.

I imagine if it had been an E-Ticket there wouldn't have been any issues, however for whatever reason Colchester Town ticket office issued it me as a CCST!

Arriva Telford are poor for that - despite having "Plusbus welcome" stickers on every single driver's cab door...

No better at responding to correspondence.
