Afraid of TB infection

I was driving my car and was giving lift to a labourer. He was sitting behind in the car. Car AC was on and glasses were closed. That labourer coughed twice in a span of half hour drive and then I dropped him. After a week of this incident, I traveled three cities through train and came back to my hometown. After coming back to hometown, I got fever for two days and now fever has gone. This is third day after fever and I have slight cough and some weakness, muscle pain etc. Is it possible that the labourer to whom I gave lift for half an hour might have caused TB infection to me? I am not sure whether that labourer was having TB or not. I am also vaccinated with BCG when I was infant but am worried. Is it possible to get TB in half an hour?
