Though there is a small risk that the bus may be fully booked on busy days, you can buy tickets from the bus driver in cash when boarding. To do this, please wait until all passengers with tickets have boarded first. Then, tell the driver which stop you are going to and insert your money into the machine. The driver will hand you your ticket and receipt.
