Correct. We give 3 or 4 chances, if the card declines each time, then you need to pay by alternative means (purchase a ticket on the app, or put some money on the desk). The policy isn't strictly enforced at all times (last buses, for example), or by all drivers - we're told to use common sense etc. Because of this you get some really amusing ones who tell you it happens every time and still hope to get a free ride...
