So why don't buses have to follow the same rules???? You can, and as far as
I know, alway will be able to buy a daily ticket on a bus. Surely the
argument about "nudging" the passengers into pre-buying their tickets, and
therefore speeding up the service would apply to buses even more than
trams.

Also, are we about to see validators on W class trams?
Will the connies remain on W class trams?
Will they take $5 notes?
