Incorrect signage on bus and POSSIBILITY the driver pocketed the cash as I wasn't given a printed ticket
Got on a bus in nenagh towards limerick.. asked the driver for a single ticket. 11 euro, no problem. I take out the correct amount in cash and the driver proceeds to tell me that they dont accept cash.. meanwhile, im looking at a sign right in front of me that clearly says, "card payments preferred" now unless I'm mistaken, that implies that I can still pay by cash.. so i said to the driver, until your sign states that it is "card payments ONLY" I can, and will be paying in cash.. the driver responded by saying that he would pay for the ticket with his card and I could give him cash in exchange, which i thought was actually a very sound thing to do.. i gave him the cash for the ticket and he ushered me on, but didn't actually give me a physical printed ticket.. now im not 100% sure that this is the case, so im not accusing him of anything, but I got the impression that he put the cash in his pocket and didn't actually make the card payment for the ticket... either way, im delighted I was allowed board the bus so no complaints there.. I just think that for one, if it's actually card ONLY, then thats what it should say on the signs and not say PREFERRED. and secondly I feel like I should have been printed a ticket as a proof of purchase.. otherwise he could quite possibly have just pocketed my money..
