How do you tap on and off a bus?

Double door buses have the tap off reader positioned by the rear set of doors. Sometimes, including at bus stations, the driver will not be able to open the rear doors and you will need to leave via the front door. The tap off reader will remain active but you also have the option to tap off on the driver's machine.
