But surely isn't the plan to make all buses cash free? In which case I'm
sure there will be stops without machines plus of course lengthy sections
of hail & ride services. In those cases I can see that passengers will have
to have a valid ticket, pass or prepay in hand before boarding.

AFAIK the single tickets are valid for any route subject to the usual
condition of being used with in one hour of purchase.
