Today had been my worst experinece. I booked a ticket (10 pounds) for nottingham intending to pick the bus at Victoria. The driver noted I made a mistake and booked at golders green instead, he (465) said he would not allow me to board his unless I book another ticket. Realising I made a mistake I went to book another for 30 pounds but the ticket would not come out. I reported it and the officers told me to board the bus but the driver would not allow me unless I book another ticket again. how can a person book three tickets just for one trip
