The Fijian Competition and Consumer Commission, or FCCC, commends the Government’s recent decision to overhaul the e-ticketing system, introducing a more consumer-friendly approach.

This upgrade will see the implementation of a new e-ticketing system, designed to streamline operations and improve the user experience for all Fijians.

Most notably, other forms of payment will be included, outside of the current bus cards.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade, Cooperatives, and Communications Manoa Kamikamica says, the introduction of this new e-ticketing system marks a major milestone, to enhance the convenience and efficiency of public transportation in Fiji.

He says – the upgrade not only simplify the process for commuters – but also ensures that the transportation infrastructure keeps pace, with technological advancements.

FCCC CEO Joel Abraham says the introduction of more forms of payment, is great news for consumers and will result in a more reliable and user-friendly platform, for their transportation needs.

He adds the FCCC has a keen interest in the rollout of the new e-ticketing system, to ensure that it meets the required standards of consumer protection and service quality.

The new e-ticketing system is expected to be operational in the coming months, with extensive testing and stakeholder consultations to precede, its full implementation.
