Hi,
The one reason why beba may not quite work with citi hoppa is because the company is more a name franchise if you may. most buses are owned and managed by individuals and as such if I have a single bus whats the need to have the beba agent on the bus?
Secondly, each bus thats part of the franchise pays a commission of KES1500 (might have gone up) every day it operates coupled with a few infractions with the money collecting guys that you didnot pay the full amount and you can start seeing why the beba card will not be a success.
Im not quite sure why they chose citi hoppa but KBS would have been a better choice unless the routes they ply was anything to go by.

NFC just enables retrieving of a unique ID from the tag which is then transmitted to the server with any other info for debits or credits via cellular network by an app in the phone.

The reason it is failing is that the conductors will not be able to make money on the side, since the beba agents are the ones collecting the money. The citi hoppa management should be keen on the beba card. It will help them minimise on the huge losses they incur to the crew handling the money

*Near field communication* (*NFC*) is a set of standards for smartphones <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smartphone> and similar devices to establish radio <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio> communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimetres. Present and anticipated applications include contactless transactions, data exchange, and simplified setup of more complex communications such as Wi-Fi<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi> . Communication is also possible between an NFC device and an unpowered NFC chip <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit>, called a "tag
