Some of those are just because the bus is badly designed. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to buy your ticket online, or through a Oyster-like card. Also, it's something that really surprised me when I was in the UK, there's absolutely no maps anywhere. Especially inside the bus. I was on GPS the whole time just to make sure I stopped at the correct place. I can understand not wanting to have a paper/hard coded map inside the bus if it does not run a regular line, but I'm sure they could devise something electronically...
