The equipments aruond the driver's cabin of Travel West Midlands's bus (this is an example taken in Bus No. 44.). The "exact fare" sign shows where to put coins. The driver checks the amount thrown in and issues a ticket from the machine on the right. Despite its simple look, this system is quite multi-functional, capable of issuing many kinds of tickets.
