Yesterday when I was in the bus going home, I was seated at the back with four other people. The conductor came to collect the fare and when he got to the lady seated next to me, he got distracted by another passenger asking for his change.When he resumed taking the fare, he bypassed the lady and collected my fare and went back to his seat. Some people alighted from the bus at the next stage and others came in. The lady put back the money in her purse and did not pay the fare. As I sat there, I debated with myself if it was my place to tell the lady to be honest and just pay the fare or should I have told the conductor that she had not paid? What would you have done?

I would just let things as it is. If the lady thinks she had one over the conductor well let her take the risk of being discovered by a bus inspector and the possible shame that may come with it. I've witnessed one before and the woman was really placed in a tight spot when the inspector would not buy her reason that she had not been issued a ticket by the conductor when everyone else around her were issued.
