No reason why buses can't accept them as they are, we accept printed stock without scanning them.
Having actual PlusBus etickets would stop the select few who wave their standard station to station tickets at us drivers expecting a free ride :D
Ashington, Blyth, Whitley Bay, North Shields and South Shields. Also believe Morpeth is no longer served and it stops on the outskirts of Alnwick instead of the bus station.
That's what I meant, apologies.

Nothing to do with fonts, however I'd imagine they have to pay to license the VAG Rounded font that they currently use...
Hopefully this is something that gets sorted out sooner rather than later, as virtual cards are growing in popularity as a product on their own, without being attached to the likes of Google or Apple Pay.
Yup, WHSmith had it in my local branch, although check the edition as they had older copies on display too. I'd suggest that only the larger WHS stores will stock it.
The italicised i for tourist information is used nationally on road signs and other settings, it makes sense from a wayfinding point of view to have different symbols, especially if tourists don't speak English as their first language.
