Smart cards, can allow transit agencies to offer a more sophisticated fare policy. Contactless smart cards need only be waved at a marked spot, and therefore can reduce payment time.

SmartBus has been launched with about 15 buses in its fleet. The fleet size is to be scaled up to 300 buses. The ultra-modern design and broad doors of the Smartbus allow passengers to board and alight quickly and easily. Sound-absorbing ply used for flooring as well as the thick glass- wool insulation on roof sides reduces noise, vibration and heat inside the passenger saloon. The anti-vandalism plastic seats have a longer life and provide just the right seating comfort for travel within the city. All seats are fitted with convenient handholds. Grab handles have also been provided for all the standees in the bus. The wide aisle area allows for much more standing room. The imported, special anti-skid vinyl flooring is hard anodized to endure sustained wear-and-tear.

The Smartbus administrative offices, dispatch center, and software maintenance center, and maintenance facilities are located at:

More than 50 people work at Smartbus including bus operators, software engineers, mechanics, utility personnel, and administrative staff. To join the Smartbus team and become part of an exciting new start in mass transit in Africa, please visit the Careers section.
