In 2011 we introduced the first Smart Card Automatic Ticketing System in East Africa for Public Transport in Kigali for Kigali Bus Services. This was a revolution in transport for both the operators and the passengers. The Automatic Fare Collection has been operating for several years now without any problems whatsoever and the public have taken to the system wholeheartedly. The cards make it much easier for the passengers to manage their transport costs and also it removes cash from the system which is always a weakness in such sectors as public transport for the obvious reasons.

We were also selected as the Consultants by Transitec for the Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP).

The Africa Transport Policy Program (SSATP) is an international partnership which comprises 40+ African countries, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), continental institutions of the African Union

Commission (AUC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), public and private sector organizations, and international development agencies and organizations. All members of SSATP are united in their efforts to provide policy support for the development of efficient, safe and integrated urban transport systems in African cities as an instrument for economic growth and poverty reduction.
