Public Transport
Sawa fleet intelligence — purpose-built for the challenges and operational realities of public transport.
The challenge
Public transport in Africa operates under intense pressure: aging vehicles, variable passenger demand, driver accountability gaps, and passengers who have no reliable way to know when their bus will arrive. Sawa's public transport solution addresses all of these simultaneously. Fleet operators get real-time tracking, driver monitoring, and predictive maintenance. Passengers get accurate ETA information via QR code or USSD — no smartphone required. The result is a safer, more punctual, and more financially sustainable transit operation that builds passenger trust and reduces operating costs at the same time.
