Smartcard rolled out for Durban transport

Friday marked the official rollout of the Muvo card to all commuters using People Mover and Durban Transport buses, in the eThekwini Transit System, and implementation of the city's first large-scale cashless transit tariff system. The card, developed by Standard Bank's Beyond Payments unit, uses contactless technology to provide tap-and-pay functionality. The ticket machines and reading devices aboard the buses and at self-service kiosks have been provided by transport IT specialist Almex.
