The amount loaded into the card would be confirmed through a confirmation message sent to the mobile phone similar to a mobile phone reload,” association President Gemunu Wijeyratne said.Accordingly when boarding a bus the card should be handed over to the bus conductor who would in turn punch the card in a machine and issue a receipt. The daily revenue earned by the bus operators punched in the machine would be automatically generated in a system by the bank which would issue a debit card to bus operators to withdraw their earnings.Source: <a href="http://www.dailymirror.lk/" target="_blank">http://www.dailymirror.lk/</a></blockquote>
