Our guest, Anthony Stewart, CEO of Waxd Solutions, shares how his company is helping drive a digital revolution in public transport through its Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system.



From a pilot project in Swartruggens near Rustenburg to a growing footprint across regions, Waxd’s approach to cashless commuting is transforming how taxi drivers, owners, and commuters experience public transport. Stewart explains how the company overcame key adoption challenges, why their solution works where others have failed, and what lessons can be learned from collaborating directly with taxi associations and local stakeholders.
