Only a brief question, but any reason the 111 and 66 aren't 100% prepaid?

IMO - No.  They wouldn't pre pay a BUZ apparently.  Notice the 222 go de-pre paid on becoming a BUZ, even though (I believe) there are AVVMs at the busway stations and alternate BUZ service at every other stop.

I think blanket rules like that are silly. If it is Busway only then there is no reason for drivers to sell tickets.

And 66 isn't a BUZ.

Yes, both the new EB2 busway stations have AVVMs. Stones Corner I believe has 1 down on the concourse below the platforms, while Langlands has one on each platform.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Not at Kismet Street, which for some absurd reason is not a stop for the 200 (although in practice I would bet it is).

Good point.  Forgot about that one.  I'd be happy to force cash payers on to the 204 though.
