Matatu operators support the e-payment platform, saying, they hope it could seal revenue leakages by rogue staff, and restore order in the industry.
Matatu Owners Association Chairman Simon Kimutai says it could help investors to plan future investments instead of the current hand-to-mouth business that it is.
The government could soon access information on how Kenyans use matatus to move around on realtime basis.
The soon-to-be implemented matatu cashless payment portal to be manned by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), will provide individual contact information and routes as well as fare payment details as contained in passenger manifest.
