Question

I traveled with a certain bus company and did not pay there. Afterwards, I mistakenly paid another company. Do I need to pay the first company again? Thank you very much!!

Answer

Shalom and blessings 

The payment you made to another transportation company does not benefit the company with which you traveled. 

However, it should be noted that from the perspective of the Ministry of Transportation, there is no obligation to pay for a trip that has already been completed without payment. Also, not all companies expect payment after the fact. 

The Beit Hora'ah has a list of companies that expect retroactive payment and companies that do not require payment for this.
