This is my cash tray. On the left you can see I have about two pounds in 5 pence pieces.

VW Bus Parts From Bustoration***PLEASE. 0 DAY RETURN POLICY***YOU MUST OPEN AND INSPECT ALL PARTS. Compendium of all course descriptions for courses available at Reynolds Community College.

The next compartment should have 10 pence pieces, then 20 pence pieces and the last compartment should contain 50pence peices, one pound and two pound coins. When I started I had about £25.00 which is usually enough. But when the first 3 people that get on the bus tender a £10 note change vanishes very quickly. I managed to get 10 one pound coins from an other driver but that went very quickly. In Paignton I managed to get some more change but the next two passengers also had £10 notes. At one point a lady got on and bought a Paignton Megarider (£11.00) and tendered two ten pound notes. She ended up with a five pound note and four pounds in ten and five pence peices; sorry lady but it was the only way I could give you your change.

Eventually I got off the bus and had a look to make sure that no one had stuck a notice on the front off the bus saying. I'm sorry to say, I've sort of been guilty of this a couple of times, tendering $51.20 for a $31.20 fare. That way I'm not taking the driver's coins. Sometimes though the driver doesn't have enough notes, especially since I get on near the beginning of the run.

Usually it's a case of waiting until a few other people get on and pay and the driver has enough money to give you your change. The last time this happened though, it was a very quiet morning and most of the people that got on already had tickets, being regular passengers.

I ended up with a fiver and a handful of 1 and 2 dollar coins. Not that I mind, the Coke machine at work likes them.

We were issued £2 float when I first started (10 years ago), it has never gone up so we all start our shift with £2 in the cash tray. I've found that students tend to struggle with the term 'exact change' and love to off load their £20 notes for £1.20 fares. New(ish) rules now mean that if a passenger doesn't have the correct fare and I cannot provide change the passenger has 2 options: i)to collect change from the depot. Ii)to catch the next bus. It's amazing how many people suddenly find the correct change when they are offered these options.
