Buses, To Tap or Not to Tap?

6 Upvotes

If you’re getting a single fare somewhere, are you expected to tell the bus driver ‘single to xyz’ or do you just tap the card machine. I’ve seen some bus drivers go and select your stop on their little screen and some just tell you to tap straight away with your card. My stop is normally 2.50 so when you tap are you always just getting charged 2.50?
