Thats clever. Most public bus systems I know in the US still see frequent cash payments onboard (the elderly, mostly). Is this not the case in Sydney, or is the system cashless?

Over the past few years they've rolled out a new electronic ticketing system which is used exclusively.
On some bus routes (and/or outside of peek times) you can pay a cash fare on the buss, but even that is still a single-use paper RFID card that should be tapped on and off. These sales are in the extreme minority though - the elderly require an electronic card to get their discount IIRC.
