THE PRESIDENT of the Association of Private Transport Operators (APTO) has again appealed to Government to implement a mobile payment system for both public and private transport operators.
Morris Lee, who made the initial call last September, said public service vehicles (PSVs) were easy targets for robbers and it was time commuters were allowed to pay fares via mobile phones or other electronic devices.
“I would like to see cash taken out of the system – that would make the environment safe for everybody,” he said.
“Just how you would top up your cellphone, you would be able to put $20 on the phone to cover a week’s travel that would still be available even if you don’t travel.” (MB)
