London buses are cashless. Either you use an Oyster or contactless payment card, or buy a ticket or pass in advance.

  So, pay as you board.

    Not in a way that delays you - the driver doesn't count change or anything.

      There's still a small delay as each passenger waits to scan their card at the single machine at the front of the bus.

      Almost nobody in Chicago uses cash to board, but if there are 20-30 people boarding a bus, it can still take over a minute as they all have to go through the front door and tap their cards (and of course, it doesn't always work the first time for some reason).
