NEW IN 3.0: KONDAKITA, YOUR TRAVEL COMPANION Bus Stop now understands plain language. Ask Kondakita for a bus the way you would ask a person at the stage, and it does the rest — finds the trip, reads back the fare and the seats left, takes you through Mobile Money, and puts the ticket in your Wallet. • Ask, don't fill in forms. "I need a bus from Lyantonde to Kikagati." That is the whole search. • Pay in the conversation. Kondakita checks your Mobile Money number, reads back the registered account name, and shows you exactly what you will be charged. Nothing is taken until you tap Confirm. • Know where your bus is. Ask any time and Kondakita checks your ticket. • Find food and stops on the way. Real places along your actual route. • In your language. Kondakita opens in Luganda, Runyankore, Acholi, Ateso, Kinyarwanda, Kiswahili and English. Kondakita only ever tells you what it can look up. If there is no bus on your route, it says so — it will never invent a trip, a fare or a name. EVERYTHING ELSE YOU ALREADY KNOW Bus Stop enables users across Africa to purchase bus tickets conveniently Search for information about available bus trips to your desired destination View itineraries and the bus companies scheduled to conduct each trip
