はい、整理券を取って、降りる時に整理券と運賃を一緒にお支払いください。
はい、せいりけんをとって、おりるときにせいりけんとうんちんをいっしょにおしはらいください。
Yes, please take a numbered ticket, and when you get off, please pay the fare along with the numbered ticket.
Gesture & etiquette
Point towards the fare box or driver, or make a 'paying' gesture.
Local buses outside major city centers often use a 'numbered ticket' system where fares vary by distance. Always take a ticket when boarding. Payment is made when exiting.
