Learn more about why we invested in BuuPass - Bus, Train & Flight bookings, which is easing travel across Africa - https://lnkd.in/dQ97BG3P Transportation in Africa lacks the necessary technology to operate efficiently. BuuPass, operating on a B2B2C model, partners with transport companies by providing a platform that digitizes their ticketing and bus management systems. This minimizes overselling, increases asset utilization and enhances convenience for their customers. #InvestInAfrica #RenewCapitalPortfolio #TechInAfrica #Transportation
