smartbus tried cashless payments and they were always getting
network errors.<br>
<br>
Is the required infrastructure in place and is it reliable enough to
work all the time?<br>
<br>

A new law to regulate the public transport has been put in
place and<br>
will take effect by June 2014 where<br>
1. All PSVs must implement cashless paymeny system for bus
fare<br>
2. All PSVs to be fit with fleet management systems where
overspeeding<br>
will be checked from system logs, not on speed cameras<br>
3. All PSVs to have surveillance cameras to reduce
carjackings, petty<br>
crimes, and terrorism<br>
4. Install digital speed governors<br>
<br>
This will see Beba Pay and Mpesa fight for supremacy. I'm keen
to see<br>
what card Safaricom has on it's deck. This is a great
opportunity for<br>
payment system innovators to comeup with exciting products,
and also<br>
for fleet management system companies to have regular work.
The<br>
commuters on the other hand will dig dipper in their pockets
to pay<br>
for the services.<br>
<br>
And finally, the government has a way of collecting taxes on
the Ksh<br>
205 Billion industry<br>
