OPay Launches ‘OBus’ — Public Bus Hailing For Lagos by postbox: 1:43pm On Aug 19, 2019
This service has since inception been incorporated into the OPay app where ride orders can be made. Users are expected to update their app to access the service. Currently, OBuses operate along the CMS-Ikeja routes.

“OBus is like normal buses but it is more comfortable and supports cashless payments,” an OPay staff told Techpoint during an online chat.

OBus trip fare payments are made using an OBus Card. It is a QR-enabled card that comes in different denominations — as low as ₦200 ($0.55) and as high as ₦2000 ($5.51). Cards are purchased from OPay agents at different designated bus stops.

To make a payment, cards are placed over a sensor reader inside the bus. The sensor then reads the ticket barcode which was generated through the mobile app and withdrawal will be made immediately.

An OBus Card can be used for multiple trips until the credit is exhausted. Alternatively, payments can also be made through the OPay wallet, as with other OPay services.

Regarding concerns about his company’s speed of product and services expansion, the OPay staff explains it away as a way of testing new waters.

“I admit that OPay is moving very fast. However, I believe we will learn from experience, just like Gokada is having its share of challenges already.”

There is no telling what surprises OPay is set to spring up in the coming months. Perhaps, this is a means of proving to investors how effectively the recent $50 million funding is being utilised.

No sir. The concept of bus is different from that of bike. Bike is speed while bus is cashless payment and comfortability.
