Strange bus conductor !

My wife was to go to Dalhousie (a busy office area of Kolkata) and hence took a bus from North Kolkata. Little did she knew about recent developments inside buses. She was sitting on a back seat and soon dozed off. In the meanwhile the bus got crowded. She felt a hand mildly tapping on her shoulder. She woke up and saw a man similar to the conductor. He also had a pouch type bag hanging from his shoulder. She , without looking at his face , gave her a fifty rupee note and said 'Dalhousie'.

Meanwhile,someone next to her, picked up a conversation.

After few moments she tried to find the conductor for her ticket and change. The man was gone. Finally she came to know of her mistake. The original conductor too showed little interest in the matter.

Was he aware of the incident??
