@ layman i echo your sentiments we need this smart buses in eastlands. i stay at tena and the fare we pay from donholm is just way too much( 70 bob). i just can't wait for the smart buses.




God's time is the best.

As i said on a previous post,this is a great idea whose time has come sort some of the mess on our public transport. The issue of cards being identical should be solved by treating those cards as legal tender. The growth of the smart buses' coverage will also enable fare 'portability' when transferring from one bus to another to get to your destination. The saving and convenience will be enormous. The faster commuters embrace this idea,the better for everyone but the damn traffic cop n mungiki.

When i see my purple,you see it not.

@Jay R

The traffic cop wont harvest much on this one. remember the 'black box'? the conductor doesnt handle the money either. The mungiki wont like it much but because this venture has high powered fellas behind it,the crack down by GSU's at the bus-stops wont let mungiki interfere with the buses. just the same way they can not eliminate the citi hoppas. And even if they stopped the busses from using the designated bus-stop,the buses can be allocated another place to operate from and as long as they have commutor's backing them,it should work. I understand the matatus in some routes where these buses operate have reduced their fare charges by as much as 30%.

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.

I paid 50 bob from kitengela to town using the bus. Previously,u would part with atleast 80 bob offpeak en 100 bob peak using matatus. Smartbus,the way to go! I jus hope they maintain the gud customer service...
