The World Bank is all set to support Nepal to install GPS in all public vehicles plying across the country. 

According to the Director at DoTM Gokarna Prasad Upadhyaya, the procedure for forming the modality of the project started with the approval of the World Bank. "We will appoint the consultant, once they finalize all the modalities, additional procedures will begin, We have a plan to install the GPS in all public vehicles in Kathmandu within this fiscal year,” said Upadhyaya.

GPS is connected to make public transport more systemic. The Department has stated that the public transport management system will be linked through the GPS tracking system. The department claims that the GPS connection will assist the traffic police in monitoring vehicles, receiving speed data, and regulating public transport distortions.

Loknath Bhusal, information officer of the department, said that "Work is underway to connect GPS. In the first phase, we are preparing to install GPS in the public transport running on the Kathmandu-Pokhara section".

GPS will be connected especially in long-distance transport, after long-distance connections, it will be connected even in short-distance transport. He added that there is a plan to connect GPS in every public and private vehicle after that.

Following the installation of the GPS, it would be convenient for the traffic police to track the vehicles, for instance - which vehicles have stopped for how long and which route they are going to take. Also, GPS connection would aid in controlling criminal activities.

From smartphone top-ups to airline tickets, paying insurance premiums, all sorts of online payment systems have been available in eSewa and are still counting in.

Recently, the Inland Revenue Office's online payment service was launched in eSewa, a admirable effort to bring government payment services under the shade of digital payment systems. eSewa has launched a new service where you can pay traffic fines online, continuing its persistent effort to add value to its clients. The facility to pay for traffic has now also been introduced by eSewa.





 
The Metropolitan Police Traffic Division has begun to collect a fine through an online payment system from traffic law violators.

The MTPD inaugurated the new online payment system, “An integrated system has been developed between the Traffic Division Violation Record System, Revenue Management Information System, and payment systems. Through the system, the fine amount is deducted from the bank account of the traffic rule violators,” said Senior Superintendent of Police Janak Bhattarai, chief of the MTPD.

“The newly-introduced system will help in reducing big crowds in traffic offices. Once the fine amount is paid, rule violators should come to the traffic police office to collect their documents,” said Bhattarai, adding that the rule violators do not have to queue up at banks to pay the fine amount now onwards.


 

Violators of the traffic law can pay the fine via eSewa. “The Division is also initiating talks with other digital service providers to introduce ‘Traffic Police Fine Payment’ option in their platforms,” he said.

The option of 'Traffic Police Fine Payment' can be found in Esewa and IPS Connect, through which violators can pay the fine amount.

“Violators have to log in to their Esewa or IPS Connect account, and should enter the number of the slip provided by traffic police. After paying the amount, they can visit the respective traffic police office to collect their documents,” said Superintendent of Police Shyam Krishna Adhikari, spokesperson for the division.
