I think Wigan Buses, Bullocks and Checkmate are the only companies left in Manchster which use the very outdated Wayfarer 2 ticket machines which is what produced your ticket above Bolton Bus Basher. I know a couple of years back I acquired an any bus daysaver from Stotts and had similar problems with drivers from bigger firms having a very good look which is annoying.

Wigan Coachways still use them, Maybe Go Goodwins? but yea, think i will avoid getting a System One on their Buses in future as its not worth all the hassle that comes with it

After a google search your right!, shows how bad a firm is if they cant even charge people the correct price for a Ticket...

Go Goodwins and M Travel use Wayfarer 3's which produce slightly better tickets.
I would drop system one an email telling them you were wrongly charged. It might only be 20p but it's not really fair that thier charging a higher price than advertised.
