ETA for Public Transport
Accurate arrival predictions for passengers — via QR code or USSD, no app required.
Millions of African commuters use public transport daily but have no reliable way to know when their bus will arrive. This uncertainty wastes time, reduces trust in public transit systems, and pushes passengers toward more expensive alternatives. Sawa's ETA for Public Transport module solves this with a lightweight, hardware-agnostic solution: passengers scan a QR code at a bus stop or dial a USSD code to get a real-time arrival estimate. No smartphone required. No app to download. Just accurate, live data from the fleet intelligence platform powering the vehicles on the route.
