Tourists, people not sure of the route, etc may ask for a destination that is the end of a fare stage, but stay on for an extra couple of stops to where they actually intended to travel to. (Under the assumption that what they asked for covered the stop they intended to alight at).
Don't think you'll get a solid answer to this one, but the 2 things I've seen occur are:
- Ordered to pay correct amount to where-ever
- Ordered to pay penalty charge

I would say either condition depends on your intentions, the RP officer and who the RP officer believes you are. If you can't pay directly on the spot for a ticket, you can fill out a form on the bus (all drivers should carry) that's known as an "Unpaid fare". This is a last resort and often only filled out if there's a sense of urgency or it's the last bus. Essentially a letter comes through the door a few days later demanding repayment for the fare. However, I've seen it done during the day in certain conditions.

A subjective question and a subjective response.
