Just read on the new smart buses being introduced in Nairobi in 2 weeks. Among the things that caught my attention were :-

http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/Local/Kenya-Smart-Buses-to-ease-traffic.html

  • “They will keep scheduled times so that you will know that at this bus stop, this bus will be here at this particular time,” 
  • The  Smart Buses will be using software that enables people to get more information about the routes and times of travel.You can even sms saying that this is the bus stop and it will tell you that the next bus is coming in the next many minutes
  • It will charge according to the distance charged
Does anyone think it will work against the Mungiki infested transport sector
