After more than two years of using card systems and payment systems in public transportation, the Asia Starmar company, which provides services for the card system, has introduced a high-tech international QR Code system and fare payment system on Jan 8.

Currently, YBS card system has been used on some YBS bus lines though machines are not working and bus fares is collected by drivers, said passengers.
“QR code payment system is good because we don’t need to worry about note problem anymore and avoid overcharge. I welcome this system,” said a YBS passenger.

At the present, more than 130 YBS bus lines are running in Yangon with more than 3000 buses to commute up to 1.5 million passengers every day.
