uncovered by inspectors on London Buses who are experimenting with hand-held computers to detect ticket fraud. The Psion Organiser computer helped inspectors to apprehend one bus passenger using a stolen ticket. Subsequent investigation by the police resulted in the discovery-of over 212,000 worth of stolen tickets.

Last year inspectors recovered over 2100,000 worth of stolen tickets.
