Look for the contactless symbol on your credit or debit card to see if your card is contactless enabled. Then, board a bus with the contactless symbol and instead of paying with cash, simply tap your card or contactless-enabled device onto the reader and wait for the beep.
How should you get on or off a bus : Wait to board until the bus comes to a complete stop and the door opens. Always enter the front and have your fare ready before the bus arrives. When you're near your destination, signal the driver that you want to get off.

Is it OK to read on a bus : When you're on a moving bus and your eyes are fixed on the paper, your brain may get misinterpret the mixed signals (from your ear, eye and every organ that helps with our balance) and cause confusion. I got used to it with time, I read 1 to 2 hours every day on a moving bus and it's just fine.
