あ、大丈夫だよ。降車時に運転手さんに言えば整理券なしでも運賃計算してくれるはず。
あ、だいじょうぶだよ。こうしゃじにうんてんしさんにいえばせいりけんなしでもうんちんけいさんしてくれるはず。
Oh, it's fine. You can just tell the driver when you get off, and they should be able to calculate the fare without a ticket.
Gesture & etiquette
Give a reassuring smile, perhaps a light pat on the shoulder, and point toward the driver's seat.
Do not use formal speech (Desu/Masu) as the relationship is casual. Avoid sounding panicked as it is a common mistake.
