Commuters will not be able to use cash to purchase our services. No cash will be accepted when bus tags are purchased or filled. No cash will be accepted on our buses..

What is the benefit of going cashless.?

A cashless environment is beneficial to both commuters and metrobus. Bus operators will be safe from all the hazards of handling cash while commuters will enjoy a safer environment where bus operators will concentrate on the main purpose of their jobs which is to transport commuters safely.
The purchase of bus tags will be significantly reduced to allow all commuters to purchase tags.

Will this new way of doing business improve the services of Metrobus?

This new way of doing business will ensure that Metrobus has accurate information on the numbers and location of all our commuters, and this will enable Metrobus to deploy resources in a better manner to ensure that limited resources are allocated more efficiently. This information will also ensure that requests for additional funding to purchase and repair buses is accurate.
