Impact of the introduction of IC card transport fare collection system and anti-corruption: case study of a pilot project for a government bus corporation in Bangladesh

Published: 07 December 2013 Publication History

Abstract

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) led a pilot project for the introduction of a bus fare collection system through integrated circuit (IC) card in Bangladesh. The project resulted in not only improved efficiency through systemization and customer satisfaction, but also an unintentional rise in sales and a high evaluation from women. Based on these results, this paper discusses the necessity of an incentive mechanism for employees in addition to anti-corruption measures through systemization, both of which are factors in the success of the introduction of the IC transport card and increased accessibility to women.
