Hi,
First of all we need to understand Kenyans way of doing things n so understand kenya's ,market.
I dont know the technology they were using but i gess it gprs or so..what happens when there is no connection?
USSD would have been appropriate or even predownloaded vouchers of different denomination.
I talked to one of the guys there n adviced on the same but then he said this was an already predesigned to work the way it works n no room for improvement..Wollah...na hii Kenya yetu.
There are a co selling airtel called teleyetu.Its a project that works in an almost same way and fortunately the manufacturer(PSITEK) of the devices heeded to the facts on the ground and improved.Seemslike they are making it.

Was in a Citi Hoppa today where they have scratched out all those "Beba" stickers. The conductor, who was busy asking for change, said "sina agent" when I asked about the Beba Card.The Beba card is a solution which would have gone very far in helping small matatu owners who have no idea how much was collected in their matatu and where it is.I also think some Eastlands saccos would have been a better pilot such as Double M (Who I hear have quite a number of cases of conductors taking off with the days earnings) and maybe others like Embassava, which appear to be more disciplined than Hoppa.Hoppa may have been a good pilot to rein in the indiscipline, but the problem here is that the crew ganged up against the card. Plus Citi Hoppa is already a step towards management._______________________________________________
