Tap and Go system will eliminate corruption at public transport sector – Dr. Bawumia launches

Ghana’s public transport sector has become the latest addition to the government’s digitalisation drive, following the launch of Tap and Go, a digital service for the transport sector.

Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, launched the Tap and Go Transport Service in Accra on Monday, February 19 at the Head Office of Metro Mass Limited, which became the first intra and inter-city public transport service to on board the unique digital platform.

The Tap and Go Transport Service is a digital platform for multiple public transport services, including a digital card preloaded with cash, which can be used to pay for transport fares by tapping the card on a fixed machine on a bus or rail.
It also has a virtual card option on mobile phones, which can be selected through the Tap and Go app, for those who don’t wish to use the physical card.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. Bawumia said, the Tap and Go transport service, like all other digital initiatives undertaken so far, is meant to address systemic challenges in the public transport sector, improve efficiency, and also help fight corruption
