Kenya Railways starts digital payments at Madaraka Express stations

Published

The Kenya Railways has phased out the use of cash in paying for tickets at all the Madaraka Express stations, starting today.
The Kenya Railways management says  that going forward the only acceptable payment modes would be mobile wallets or credit cards.
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.
