Cashless fare collection · Nairobi

Tap in. Ride. Tap out.

GoPay turns your phone or card into a transit ticket — one tap to board any GoPay‑enabled matatu, bus or boda. No coins, no change, no queueing at the door.

The ride, in three taps

Boarding shouldn't take longer than the ride

GoPay replaces the fumble for coins with a single tap — for the commuter and the conductor.

01

Tap

Hold your GoPay card or phone against the reader as you board. The fare for that route is set automatically.

02

Ride

No cash, no change, no arguing over fare at the door. The conductor keeps their eyes on the road, not the till.

03

Receipt

Get an instant digital receipt and see your full fare history any time, right inside the GoPay app.

Built for both sides of the fare

One tap, two problems solved

For commuters

Ride without the coin hunt

  • Top up once, tap for every ride after
  • No more "no change" stand‑offs at the door
  • A running record of every fare you've paid
  • Works across GoPay‑enabled matatu, bus and boda routes
For SACCOs & operators

Revenue you can actually see

  • Faster boarding means more trips per shift
  • Every fare logged — less cash handling, less leakage
  • A dashboard view of trips and takings per vehicle
  • Onboarding support for your SACCO's whole fleet

Trust & safety

Your fare, accounted for

SECURE

Encrypted, end to end

Every tap is encrypted between your card or phone and the reader — no fare details sit exposed on the vehicle.

ACCOUNTABLE

Nothing to lose but your ticket

No loose cash changing hands means less to misplace, and a full record if a fare is ever disputed.
