Mr. Hann might just let us know. It would be interesting. Nobody wants to exclude anybody but in this day and age probably nearly everybody has either a credit or a debit card and if they do not, a Leap card is not a huge ask if it can speed up the journey time. I remember asking one of Mr. Hann's predecessors years ago when I was on the local authority if every second or third 46A could be cashless. That would encourage people to go cashless because if they got on the cashless bus, their journey time would be faster. I was told that revenue would be lost that way but in fact revenue is not being lost; it just changing how it is collected.
