NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 16 – Electronic payment company Viewtech Limited has signed a partnership with OMA Service to allow customers using electronic buses to pay fares digitally.
Through SasaPay, a mobile money platform, travelers will use SasaPay to pay for their trips.
The collaboration aims to promote the use of electric buses provided by BasiGo while simplifying passenger payment processes.
“We are excited to be collaborating with the Electric Bus Company to offer a convenient payment solution for passengers,” said SasaPay MD Stephen Kaguchia.
‘SasaPay cashless platform will help to promote the use of electric buses, which are an eco-friendly and sustainable mode of transportation,” Kaguchia added.
