Service Overview
Red Skies Technology UK has developed a GPS based Commuter Transport Control and Payment System (branded as YoSafari) to improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and safety of commuter transportation systems in developing economies. YoSafari enables commuters will use smart ticketing to make payments for their journeys. Each vehicle licensed/authorised to carry commuters is fitted with technology that will be used to manage their operations and also receive payments from commuters. Travel transactions are processed instantly and transfers are made to operators based on the commuters they have carried during the day. Taxes and any levies are also automatically applied and transferred to appropriate government/regulatory body. The YoSafari system also has the ability to restrict services to predefined locations and also enforce some very basic form of tolling to manage congestion normally caused by the vast numbers of people carriers in developing cities.Quick Facts
