The main problem we have with our buses is not the ticketing system. There is a shortage in some routes, while some have excess, there are no proper time tables, there are no buses in most routes after 9pm. Care less and competing driving is very common.

How is the electronic ticketing system going to solve those problems ?

It's a good idea. But I wonder how you are going to do it.
