Lagos yellow taxi drivers can now collect payment via a digital payment system.
Univasa Nigeria Limited, an information technology company, disclosed this on Friday during a media briefing at the headquarters of the Lagos State Taxi Drivers and Cab Operators Association (LSTDCOA) in Oshodi, Lagos.
The company said through “Verify and Pay”, passengers hailing yellow taxis can scan the barcode on the taxi to confirm the details of the driver and the vehicle, input their destination to check and negotiate fares, and select preferred payment options such as card payments or USSD.
Speaking at the event, Ben Adeniyi, chief executive officer of Univasa, said the payment platform was developed to transform the transport system in Lagos state and Nigeria.
“As a driver partner with Univasa, you get to enjoy the convenience of receiving your payments instantly with our instant withdrawal feature, so “Cash or Card e no matter” as we like to say and for the riders, we are offering you a chance to own your experience while hailing a ride,” he said.
