Airtel Rwanda in partnership with Kigali Motorcyclists to protect their passengers safe
Airtel Rwanda announced its readiness to fully equip Kigali motorcyclist’s taxis with a brand new reflective jacket and a cashless digital payment option through Airtel Money.
In response
to the announcement made by RURA on 27th May 2020, Airtel
Rwanda has put in measures to allow motorcyclists take up cashless payment from
1st June 2020. Upon the release of Moto taxis within the
city of Kigali, passengers are offered the convenience to pay for their rides
through easy steps from their mobile phones via the short code *544#.
During this
coronavirus crisis, digital payments have been keeping economies running and
helping people reduce chances of infections. Through the *544# platform moto’
riders will receive payment in a cashless mode, seamlessly using Airtel Money.
The payment solution will also see them redeem fees to their respective
cooperatives, hence receive discounts at any Mount Meru fuel pump.
Commenting
on the upcoming plans, Amit Chawla, MD at Airtel Rwanda expressed: ‘In this
times of reopening, we are extremely excited to delight motorcyclists with an
AIRTEL vest that keep them clean, safe and protected. Moreover, mobile payments
have proved to be a safety measure to user’s risk contracting the virus through
touching infected surfaces or cash.” Amit said
