Tap your foreign contactless bank card on the onboard ticket terminal (kasownik/biletomat) in any bus or tram — it purchases a valid electronic single-ride ticket automatically.

More details
In Toruń, the onboard terminal is a 'buy-a-ticket' tap rather than an open-loop tap-in/tap-out fare-capping system like Gdańsk's FALA —
tapping your contactless card purchases a single ride at that moment (single regular ticket = 5.00 PLN, concessionary = 2.50 PLN).
Payment is contactless-only on the mobile terminal (no PIN entry option beyond confirming a transaction).
