運賃は後払いです。降車時に運賃箱へお支払いください。
うんちんはあとばらいです。こうしゃじにうんちんばこへおしはらいください。
You pay the fare when you get off. Please put it in the fare box upon exiting.
Gesture & etiquette
Point politely toward the fare box located next to the driver's seat or the exit door.
Do not attempt to pay before checking if the bus is a front-door or rear-door boarding type, as some systems vary.
