RE: Stagecoach Manchester
Basic float (5p's, 10p's, 20p's and 50p's usually) is always provided at the start of a shift, but it isn't enough to give every passenger £3 change when they buy their megarider, especially as it is usually advertised to pay with the correct fare where possible.
If a large float is provided, it can cause the driver to become overloaded with change when everyone on the bus that day decides to pay with the correct fare, there's only so much money the cash boxes can hold. It has happened before here, a driver having to delay his bus while he emptied some of the change out into a green cash bag.
Sometimes here, a driver will give change out of their own pocket, and take it back at the end of the journey, but they generally don't do this because people who see them put the cash back into their own pocket assume they are stealing.
