Mobile Payment for “PO Tentrem” Bus Rates Based on E-Wallet

The increase was driven by the need for communication during the Covid-19 pandemic in the last two years. Most internet users are on the island of Java, followed by the islands of Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Bali-Nusa, and Maluku-Papua. PT. Tentrem Sejahtera is one of the Inter-City In-Province bus companies based on the island of Java, precisely in East Java. The ordering and payment process is still done manually or offline. Consumers who want to buy tickets must come directly to the terminal, to an authorized agent who has been appointed or do it directly when boarding the bus and make transactions in cash.

In addition, there are still unscrupulous brokers at several bus departures who sell tickets that do not match the specified price.

With the National Mercant ID (NMID) listed on the QRIS display, a receipt will be issued on the Thermal Print for proof of payment
