Private Bus Card System
End revenue leakage, share revenue fairly and transparently.
Last updated: 11.09.2026
For private bus cooperatives, Sole Akbil collects fares with a smart card instead of cash, preventing revenue leakage, recording every vehicle's revenue by plate, and sharing the collected revenue fairly and transparently among vehicle owners.
Value for Cooperatives
- The driver's contact with cash is eliminated; leakage stops
- Detailed revenue reports by plate/driver
- Fair sharing of collected revenue
- Upfront collection and steady cash flow
Fair Revenue Sharing
Every passage is recorded to the panel together with which vehicle it happened on; revenue is shared transparently among vehicle owners. See electronic fare collection for details.
Easy Setup
Sole Akbil validators are mounted in vehicles, card top-up points are set up; because the system also works offline, coverage gaps never disrupt the trip.
Revenue Control: Z Report and Driver Shifts
For a private bus cooperative, the real question is making it indisputable how much each vehicle collected by end of day. In the Sole Akbil panel this is tracked with ready-made reports:
- Taps by Vehicle Plate Report — per-vehicle, day-by-day tap and revenue analysis broken down by card type.
- Driver Activity Report — PIN-protected shift open/close, shift hours and failed PIN attempts.
- Top-up Z Report — a uniquely numbered, frozen end-of-day document that cannot be altered afterwards.
- Clone card detection — the same card being used on different devices within 120 seconds is reported automatically.
For the full report set see fare collection reporting, and for setup cost items see AFC system pricing.
Frequently Asked Questions

Because every passage is recorded by plate, revenue is shared fairly and transparently in the panel.
Does the driver keep taking cash?
No; collection happens up front at card top-up points, eliminating the driver's contact with cash.
Does it work without internet?

How are driver shifts tracked?
The driver opens and closes a shift on the validator with a PIN; shift hours and failed PIN attempts appear in the Driver Activity Report in the panel.
