There is no need to make the whole of London prepaid only, just the
well-used stops. There would be no confusion for passengers, because the bus
stops that had machines would be prepaid-only, and those that didn't
wouldn't.

What I find bizarre is that the W7 machines are, or at least were, W7-only.
Why allow people to buy tickets on a 144 or W3 at a stop that has a ticket
machine for the W7?
