    In the lively arena of African intercity bus operations, a persistent challenge looms large – revenue leakage. Picture it like a zebra amidst a herd of antelopes, noticeable but often overlooked. Traditional methods, heavily reliant on manual ticketing and cash transactions, create a leaky bucket where revenue steadily seeps away. In this blog post, we explore the issue of revenue leakage and how Bus54's solution empowers transport operators with controls to close revenue leakage. https://lnkd.in/ebtyTP3w

    🌿 The E-Mobility Conference & Exhibition held last week in Lagos was a groundbreaking event organised by Clean Technology Hub! 🚀 This year's focus on "Accelerating Green Transport Evolution: Powering the Future of EVs" was nothing short of inspiring. Bus54 was represented by our Sales Lead Justina Onyetube. Meeting visionary leaders in Nigeria pioneering the development of electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 3 and 2-wheelers, entirely from scratch, showcased the remarkable strides we are making towards sustainable transport. The capital city of Maiduguri in North Eastern Nigeria, successfully adopted EVs, resulting in significantly reduced transportation costs. Encouragingly, government officials announced that policies to support EVs are nearly 80% finalised, signalling a pivotal moment for the future of transportation in Nigeria. At Bus54, we've been steadfast in advocating for green and sustainable transport systems, and this marks a significant step towards our shared goal. The acceptance and enthusiasm surrounding EVs in Nigeria are beyond promising - it's a revolution in motion! 🚗🔋 Embrace the future, because Electric Vehicles are here to stay! 🌍🔌 #EMobility #SustainableTransport #GreenTech #NigeriaInnovation
