After trials on out of town and single deck bus services, London Transport experimented ‘pay as you enter’ double deck buses with simplified or flat fares in central London from 1971 onwards. This film shows two experimental systems in a stationary test - one where the driver takes the fare and issues a ticket to a succession of LT staff, and another where they put coins into a self-service machine.
