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>
