Exact money

   On most of the buses in Monmouthshire you have to pay with the exact money which you pop into a little chute machine whilst the driver watches with a keen eye on those tiny 5p pieces. I will not attempt to give the rates - as they change regularly - but you should have a fiver, some pound coins and smaller change. Be sure to leave enough for CAKE. I am pressing for contactless machines - and lower fares. Meanwhile, if you are stuck, other kindly passengers frequently help out.
