A. TIER Pedometer

The main form of public transport in South Africa is the minibus taxi. • Among South Africa's major cities, there are 17,000 taxis in Pretoria, 40,000 taxis in Durban and 61,000 taxis in Gauteng. • It serves between 12 to 14 million passengers daily.

However, the bus stops are very limited, so people usually have to walk at least 20 minutes to get to the bus stops from work. By signing a merchant contract with a minibus taxi company, taxi passengers can pay taxi fare using en-Cash, and the taxi (merchant) can ask TIER for settlement of earned en-Cash and turn it into cash.

“TIER contributes to improving health and quality of life as passengers are rewarded through TIER pedometer for walking to and from work every day.”
