[Leica] WW: Are you ever too cautious ...

[Don Dory]

Hi Nathan, you are not paying the driver as that would lead to robberies.
You put your money in a machine that is really designed to accept a a card
or mobile phone bar code.  There is some misguided management that still
takes cash on the bus.  I prefer to purchase multiple rides as they
discount the cost and it speeds up boarding.
