Partnership between Vodacom Congo and Trans-Academia to facilitate the payment of student transport costs
Digitization is gaining more and more momentum in all areas of our daily lives, and the transport sector is no exception to this trend. Vodacom Congo, through its mobile payment platform M-Pesa, recently announced a partnership with Trans-Academia, a company specializing in urban student transport. This collaboration aims to dematerialize the payment of student transport costs by using new technologies.
Trans-Academia is an innovative player in the field of transport in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thanks to this partnership, students will now be able to make their payments in a simple, reliable and secure way, using the M-Pesa mobile application, available on Android and iOS platforms, as well as the Trans-Academia website.
The process is simple: students will need to register and log in via the app or website to purchase a transport pass. They will have the choice between different types of subscription, such as a day, a week, two weeks or a month, depending on their needs. Payment will be made directly via M-Pesa, offering a convenient and efficient solution.
To encourage the use of this service, Vodacom Congo and Trans-Academia also offer exclusive benefits to students who opt to pay via M-Pesa.
