I get a bus to work - in Dublin - during the week, and the fare is €1.15. Frequently I don't have the exact change, and might find myself dropping €1.20 into slot.
About half the time the driver will automatically generate the 'claim' part of the ticket, for €0.05. Other times the drivers don't do it, and I don't always ask. The difference is only €0.05 a time, and I'm not obsessing .....
But I do wonder what happens to the extra cash at the end of each driver's shift. Do they have to account only for the cash in the machine that balances to all tickets they've issued .....? In which case, do they get to keep the rest of the cash themselves? Or does Dublin Bus donate it to some good cause? I imagine most people don't go to O'Connell St to reclaim the money they're owed.
