NAIROBI, Kenya, Jan 25 – The Kenya Railways will no longer accept cash payments for tickets at all Madaraka Express stations starting February 1.
A notice from the Kenya Railways management indicated that going forward the only acceptable payment modes would be from mobile money wallets or credit cards.
“We wish to notify our customers and general public that effective February 1 2023, we will no longer be accepting cash for purchase of tickets at all Madaraka Express Passenger Service Stations,” reads the notice.
The use of cashless payments has been commended for curbing theft of public monies, as it reduces human interaction with money.
This new development is in line with Kenya Kwanza administration’s plan to digitize all government services, so as to enhance service delivery.
