sir, I watched the video well now sir. Now, go back, and watch by yourself. Firstly, d POS the guy held, don't even display. Secondly, he used tape to rapped where there should be sensors to scan d card. So where is d gadget and when did Lagos State start using that POS as cowry card payment. I have cowry card, u can only use it to tap inside brt once u want to enter. And it never look like that POS the guy held. It may be they just playing or so. So sir, we don't need to insult ourselves before we can bring out what we want to bring out. Thank you and be bless sir.

Sir you were wrong.. I've used mine couple of times with POS-like machines . So they are not playing in this video..

Common, this is very innovative. That's why i will vote for BAT. The level of creativity and the adjustability of Lagos state is second to non. Say what you like, the man and the team he has assembled are go-getters. Put in a corner and he'll still manage to weather the storm. He did it when OBJ shut the national revenue door against the state and i have no doubt he'll navigate the ship of Nigeria out of this storm to the path of calm and steady waters. If you don''t see this, then you are just a hater.
Una go just calm down dey type rubbish. Are you in Lagos state? How many places in Lagos is this being employed? Smh. Make Una dey try use Una brain abeg

The card is meant to be anonymous with the option of further registration. Nigeria because of identity theft i think we should keep it that way no names load as you go offices now contribute directly sounds good

The name is not important for the card it’s the number and a created email just for that

Good ideas

Good idea and cool to replace the light rail that has failed to carry passengers in the past 24 years that ThiefNuibu has been talking about it, and his minions giving future impossible tense of completion to mask their reckless looting of Lagosians’ commonwealth

Lagos light rail’ll be ready in June – Fashola
January 9, 2013

The Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday said the first phase of the state Blue Light Rail project would be completed by June this year(2013).

He expressed confidence that Lagosians would start enjoying the services of the rail project immediately.

The first phase would run from Marina and terminated at Okokomaiko area in Ojo Local Government.

Fashola spoke during an inspection of ongoing projects in the state which took him and his cabinet members to Orile-Iganmu, Alimosho and Ejigbo areas among others to assess the level of works being done by contractors.

The governor, who inaugurated the trackwork of the blue light rail at Alaba Suru, Coker-Agunda Local Council Development Area, said the level of work on the road and those of the National Theatre and Alaba-Mile 2 rail stations, would ensure early completion

He said, “In order to finish the project, the contractor did not go on vacation during the festive period. This will ensure that the project is delivered on time for the use of Lagosians.

“The first section of this rail, which started from National Theatre, Orile-Iganmu to Mile 2 Bus Stop, would be fully completed with the tracks laid.

“Construction work will continue on the project from Orile-Iganmu to Marina, the expansion work on the road from Mile 2 to Okokomaiko will also be intensified.

“This is what we do with the loan collected by the government. We don’t use our loan to pay salaries and other recurrent expenditure, what we do with our loan is to provide capital projects that would serve the residents.

“When the project is completed, the state would be at par with other major cities of the world.”

That you are unaware of something doesnt mean it does not exist. I hate people like you who just jump to conclusion without making their findings. Your first comment gave you away as an angry anti Lagos progress igboman from the yeast.

Go look for Danfo thats accepting cowry and use your card before concluding it cant be used in a danfo

Listen to yourself. I read his initial comments and yours and you've said nothing reasonable. He rewatched the video and delivered an intelligent comment. What do you do in return?

You resort to name-calling. I was also surprised when I saw a POS inside the bus. Do you pay via POS?

How this works
Re: Danfo Buses Start Accepting Bus Fares Via Cowry Cards (Video) by Prokaryote: 7:21am On Feb 03, 2023
Great idea to cut off agberos, government will rather collect it tax directly, control one chance, have drivers with sense and rickety bus will be off the road. An average lagosian already posses Cowry card for BRT movement, na aboki dey carry us back.

I bet it you don't know how the cowry card works. For your information, the Cowry card is preloaded with money which can now be used to pay for your transport fare as you commute around Lagos

That POS is what will make it useful by everyone. If you have the device you can receive your payment as a driver no matter how little.

Make bus and keke cards that use NFC(Near Field Communication) to complete transactions just by tapping another device. It does not even depend on network or internet. Same cards can be replicated for paying in markets and smaller shops.

Old technology existing in Nigeria for ages but because we are stubborn and like stress, we stuck to using cash for virtually everything, we continue to complain about scarce notes. If I talk now, someone will come and be giving me poor excuse of how one grandma in the village does not have network or bank account!
