The pathway to the decarbonization of urban public transport will unequivocally
contribute directly to the accomplishment of several UN Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs). Such as the promotion of affordable and clean energy and sustainable
cities and communities. Cognizant of the adverse effects of climate change on
Uganda, KaCyber has prioritized partnerships that will bring positive impact to the
climate change fight.
The introduction of KaCyber’s E-Ticketing and payment system to the country’s only
Zero emissions transport provider brings great benefits to Kalita Expeditions bus
operations in terms of better data collection to fully understand passenger travel
patterns. It also makes boarding faster, easier and more efficient for drivers and
passengers especially the women.
KaCyber’s Electronic Ticketing and Payment System is a unique opportunity to achieve
sustainable mobility in Kampala city. The partnership will see KaCyber Technologies
provide electronic ticketing and payment services for the electric buses and manage
the ticketing operations on the Kayoola EVS to ensure business transparency and
organized revenue collection for the mass transit bus operations by Kalita Expeditions
on different routes within Great Kampala Metropolitan (GKMA) region, and beyond.
“Together, KaCyber Technologies, Kiira Motors Corporation (KMC) and Kalita
Expeditions can help promote and decarbonize the Great Kampala Metropolitan
(GKMA) in years to come. Since Kalita in partnership with Kiira Motors has introduced
more environmentally friendly buses on our roads, we will greatly reduce harmful
vehicular emissions that pose a health risk to all Ugandans.” – said Albert Akovuku,
Director Production at Kiira Motors Corporation.
Albert further said the provision of Bus Ticketing Technology by KaCyber to run
alongside the Kayoola EVS buses is a welcome business opportunity for purposes of
improving operational efficiency. This will go a long way in improving services,
increasing revenue and creation of jobs.
With a vision to build an inclusive and greener Uganda through automotive mobility, Kiira Motors has been a critical stakeholder in ensuring the advancement of electric
cars that decarbonize the environment.
“While the challenges in the transportation sector might be many, we are
happy to now have a technology partner with dexterity to organize us, and
ensure that each stakeholder gets a fair share of their return on investment”
reiterated Charles Baguma, the Managing Director Kalita Expeditions, the bus
operator of the Kayoola EVS.
According to Innocent Orikiriiza, the Founder and Team Lead at KaCyber
Technologies, this partnership forms part of the company’s strategy to promote
a greener African transport ecosystem and contribute heavily to KaCyber’s
vision of making sustainable and seamless mobility a reality in Africa.
“Working with like-minded partners like Kalita and Kiira Motors will help us
achieve our ESG — sustainability goals. Through this partnership, we look forward
to playing a driving role in green transport innovations in Uganda’’. said
Innocent.
KaCyber will be a key partner in providing technologies to enable bus
operators to improve their revenue collections and visualize their business on
the go. It will also be a key collaborator in giving operational and technological
feedback to bus owners and Kiira Motors. This will then ensure the integration
of local content into public transport ecosystem and value chain.
