You must absolutely pay with physical cash. Public buses do not accept credit cards or digital payments. You board the bus first, take a seat, and the conductor will eventually walk down the aisle to collect your fare and hand you a tiny printed ticket.

It is highly crucial to carry small denominations like 20, 50, and 100 Rupee notes. If you hand the conductor a 5000 Rupee note for a 100 Rupee fare, they will be extremely frustrated and likely will not have enough change for you.
