As an infrequent user of the public bus service, I have consistently been given incorrect change by drivers. Maybe I have just been very unlucky but in the past six weeks I have never once been given the correct change. My attempts to rectify the situation have been met with a dismissive or aggressive attitude which suggest that I may be a problem traveller and on one occasion my proffered 50c coin miraculously turned into a 20c coin on being handed over to the driver.

If this is the norm? I dread to think how much is being 'earned' tax-free and how much damage it must do to the integrity of the country.

Perhaps a number to text to report short-changing could be introduced.
