How boda boda riders can track M-PESA and Cash fares
A boda boda rider may receive many fares in one day. Some passengers pay Cash, some use M-PESA. If the rider does not separate the two, it becomes hard to know how much money is in the pocket and how much is in M-PESA.
A fare paid by M-PESA should not be counted as physical Cash. A withdrawal from M-PESA to Cash should be recorded as money moved, not as a new fare.
Separating Cash and M-PESA helps the rider avoid confusion at the end of the day.
