Instead, the RTA said companies must begin using a new payment method called e-wallet. In a statement, the RTA said the move was designed to make services as streamlined and transparent as possible. E-wallet works by companies setting up accounts and loading money in to pay for various services. “The service is fraud resistant and allows fund transfer at the time of the transaction. The eWallet payment mode can be used for online payments as well as payments at RTA centres and at RTA partner sites,” RTA Licensing Agency CEO Ahmed Bahrozian said. He said there were other Internet services available and “in most cases there is no need to visit an RTA office”, which created overcrowding and slow service delivery.
