The American is on the bus for the first time. She/Не is learning what a good bus rider needs to do. She/Не needs, first of all, to buy а книжечка booklet of tickets from the водитель driver, who sells them only at the stops. Then she/he needs to validate one of the талоны tickets on the компостер ticket punch to avoid paying а штраф fine. If she/he is not standing close enough to the punch to do it, she/he should pass the ticket along by saying Передайте, пожалуйста.
