Taxi commuters will no longer have to worry about having cash on them once a new e-ticket system is implemented, allowing them to travel with the convenience of swiping a card.
The electronic fare collection system was demonstrated at the Bosman Street Taxi Rank in Pretoria earlier today.
The first phase of the cashless system will be rolled out on the Johannesburg, Pretoria and Mabopane routes from February. The aim is to complete a national rollout within the next five years.
