I love my bus to work
Run be a very small company, the bus makes four journeys a day - two to Didcot, two from. The company doesn't have the proper card readers, so they just issue passes as a normal ticket which you need to show to the driver every time. In theory. It's always the same couple of drivers and they know all the regulars, so they just wave you on assuming you have an in date ticket. My ticket is currently more than 6 weeks expired, and I'm wondering if I can get it to my august holiday before I have to get a new one.

If they're not going to check it, I'm not buying a new one
I normally do buy a new one when it runs out. However, right now money is a little tight, so the £120 I've saved so far is rather welcome.

I used to do this in Siena.
The buses had those little stamping machines you get on buses and trains in Italy and, given 10 tickets were 9€ a go, and that, it being Italy, no one ever checked if you had a ticket or not, I wasn't about to spend somewhere in the region of 20€ a week on bus tickets.

So I skipped bus fares for the whole six months I was there, and spent the money on shoes and pizza and gelato.
