Challenges of Bus Ticketing in Ethiopia
1. Cash Handling Issues
Reliance on cash transactions led to low efficiency and was prone to errors. Moreover, cash management required additional manpower and time, increasing operational costs.
2. Long Queue Times
Passengers had to stand in long lines for purchasing and validating tickets, resulting in extended waiting times and a poor passenger experience.
3. Lack of Modern Payment Methods
With the proliferation of mobile payments, passengers increasingly expect contactless and convenient payment options.
