To follow up on Dr. Ndemo's timely observation, a new law has been put<br>
in place and will take effect by June 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 and petty crimes.<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>
commuter on the other hand will dig dipper in his pockets to pay for<br>
the services.<br>
<br>
And finally, the government has a way of collecting taxes on the Ksh<br>
250Billion industry<br>

This development deserves a new thread, which I'm starting.<br>
