Under this system, passengers will tap their cards on a machine, which will deduct the fare as they board. When they reach their destination, they will tap again to pay for the distance they've traveled.
This system has been rolled out initially on the Nyabugogo-Kabuga and Downtown-Kabuga routes.
A statement released by RURA on Sunday indicates that the new payment method will be extended to buses on 24 different routes across the city.
The new routes include; Remera-Ndera, Downtown-Kanombe-Kibaya, Downtown-Kabeza-Rubirizi, Kimironko-Downtown, Nyanza-Downtown (via Gatenga), Kimironko-Nyabugogo, Nyanza-Nyabugogo (via Gatenga), Nyabugogo-Kanombe-Kibaya, Downtown-Kacyiru, Downtown-Saint Joseph, Nyabugogo-Saint Joseph and Downtown-Bwerankori.
