CPA Suluo urged transport companies and operators to continue using electronic ticketing systems, in line with the Electronic Transactions Act, which took effect on July 1, 2026.

He said increased use of electronic ticketing would help strengthen accountability and prevent challenges and financial irregularities associated with cash-based ticket sales.

Dr Suluo also warned individuals who submit false or invalid information to the Authority, saying close monitoring was already underway and that legal action would be taken against those found in violation of the law.
