Real-time transit —public transport, reimagined
The problem KiSMATI (Smart Mobility and Transport Initiative) solves
SMATI addresses the critical need for reliable, efficient public transport in congested cities like Dar es Salaam. Unlike traditional systems, it uses AI to plan you commute and predict bus arrival and prevent overcrowding by providing real-time seat availability. By integrating stablecoin payments, SMATI also modernizes fare collection, offering cashless, transparent, and inclusive access—especially for unbanked populations. This combination of AI, IoT, and Web3 creates a smarter, more user-friendly public transport experience that directly improves on current fragmented, inefficient systems.
Challenges I ran into
One major obstacle was acquiring reliable, real-time transit data from existing public bus operators. To overcome this, we established early partnerships with local transit authorities and designed a lightweight GPS hardware module for independent data collection.
