Instead, politely ask that they check or offer to show them the ticket description on an app or the company website. If they're having none of it, get off, wait for the next one and report it to the operator.

Where's the fun in that!

Since I had that driver on the X21 that was adamant it terminated at Sainsburys instead of Tesco, when his own timetable that he showed me to prove me wrong said it terminated at Tesco, I just don't have the patience for them anymore. 

If it was a new or obscure ticket, then fair enough, but I'd say the Explorer is a fairly well known and established ticket at this point.
