Ahead of the removal of fuel subsidy come June 2023, an Indigenous leading Tech-powered mobility Company, NAIRAXI, has said that digitizing Nigerian public transportation systems would help to mitigate future effects.
Although Eze reiterated that making public transportation attractive to commuters requires the digitalization of the industry, he emphasized the need for technology to scale up the reach and expansion of services.
“Technology can cut through a lot of drawbacks in the public transport like long wait time, inefficient scheduling and payment processes. “We should be pushing for an intermodal approach in the sense that, shared taxis, buses, rail, ferries and last-mile transit options like “Keke” must be well harnessed,” he said
The co-founder of NAIRAXI, Elizabeth Omale, explained that increased use and nationwide adoption of NAIRAXI digital transit subsidy program would improve air quality, equity, and accessibility, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce traffic congestion, and conserve energy by reducing the number of single occupancy vehicles on the road.
She said that by using a little percentage to subsidize the transport services, there would be better national growth, development, and impact on the lives of the poor masses.All rights reserved.
