As one who worked as a conductor on the London buses years ago and now lives in Cyprus, this is an amazing sight. All the more so because Cyprus is not a very ticket machine sort of place; on local buses, the fare structure is very simple (a flat fare for the most part) and the driver sells tickets from pre-printed booklets. The text abocve the ticket number reads "KEEP THE TICKET UNTIL THE END OF THE JOURNEY". I wonder what this ticket would have been sold on. When Cyprus was a British colony, none of the towns would have been large enough to warrant much in the way of an urban bus service, and I cannot imagine that tickets would ever have been issued on village buses.
