Public transport has and should always be looked at as a service of the government to the masses. Cameras and payment systems are just means of putting money into the pockets of a few companies or individuals and as such do not really help solve the problem. Think if the sector was run as a non profit (and in a sustainable manner) all would leave there cars at home and use the system. As we move forward think the thought of companies running the sector on commission of the government would also work. Auction off a licence 2-5 year to run the sector on behalf of the gov or counties with well laid out goals and guidelines as benchmarks. Off course infrastructure has to be put in place first like bus lanes everywhere, bus stops away from the main roads (thika rd and mombasa rd should not have bus stops) in short better planning. <br>

smartbus tried cashless payments and they were always getting

Is the required infrastructure in place and is it reliable enough to

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>
