As clanwilliam said, the key difference is that you offered to pay without any attempt at blagging it, and then offered to get off. You didn;t try and wind the driver up, and he decided to be nice to you. The other ones tried it on and got nasty. Sometimes being pleasant pays. I wouldn't feel guilty about it - kinda restores your faith in humanity - a small act of kindness which was appreciated.
