I guess it would help if the tickets could be bought on board buses (like the Derbyshire ones can) as it may help awareness?
It would help passengers too, who otherwise need to buy in advance if they don't live near a staffed railway station.

To be fair, I could sympathise if an Independent in Derbyshire, Staffordshire or somewhere like Burnley took exception to it. But we're talking the major operators like First and Stagecoach here. And it's very rarely challenged without an extremely defensive attitude along the lines of "I've never heard of it so it's not valid".What chance have the poor bus drivers got, the TfGM Wayfarer covers a huge geographic area, with probably about 20+ bus operators accepting tickets, and I guess something like 2000+ bus drivers to train and retain knowledge.

That could be very confusing given that they aren't valid on trains or trams in the morning peak.While i'm sure it gets used for other things the impression I always got was that the wayfarer was a ticket intended for people wanting to have a day out in the peaks, indeed I'm sure when we first bought them it was called the "peak wayfarer".
