FARE HIKES IN OUR ROADS WILL SOON BE A THING OF THE PAST



Matatu industry is set to go digital before July 1st. According to National Transport safety Authority, all Matatu owners are required to adapt a cashless payment system before July 1st  2014.
 The cashless system will see fare cards replace cash exchange whereby passengers will pay their fare using cards unlike previously passengers used to pay their fares directly to the Public Service Vehicles conductors.
The card system has seen a tremendous success in the railway transport sector. Matatu industry players will be required to install ‘black boxes’ . This are electronic machines which will be used for transaction where passengers will swipe their fare cards when paying their fares.

 The Government through a legal Notice by the National Transport safety Authority required all the Matatu Owners to implement this cashless technology to help curb hiking of fares during peak hours, holidays and special occasions in the country.
This system will embrace technology in road transport as well as provide jobs through the monitoring of the gadgets by the Transport Authority. Fare hike will soon be a thing of the past in our roads.

Do you think this improve road safety?

Mobile Virtual Network operators (MVNOs)

This is where mobile service providers offer
mobile phone services as mobile
virtual network operators
(MVNOs), a new licensing regime
where operators are not required
to lay their own infrastructure but
to ride on established structures.


MVNOs will ride on communications
infrastructure networks of existing
Mobile Network Operators to provide
cellular mobile services to end users
including customer registration, SIM
cards issuance, billing and customer
care.


Equity bank will soon be a MVNO using Airtel existing infrastructures to offer mobile phone services.In this case Airtel will provide platform for infrastructures for Equity bank to offer mobile phone services.
