We need a more efficient e-ticketing system - Miss Hibiscus contestants

Miss Hibiscus Festival 2024 contestants agree that having an e-ticketing system in Fiji is great but they want an efficient system.

This was highlighted by the contestants during fijivillage Straight Talk with Vijay Narayan when asked if they believe the e-ticketing system needs urgent attention.

Miss Island Accommodations Martina Sigrah says the e-ticketing system should be looked into because as we are moving into a more digital age, she feels there should more easier access to such things.

Sigrah says there is a need to have an efficient system where people don’t need to go far to redeem their cards after topping up.

Miss Tents and Awnings Melania Tora says we need to have a more seamless platform in terms of recharging but also have a leeway before transforming to the cashless method.

Tora says she thinks the cashless process should be slow and must consider all Fijians.

Miss Moutai Ciara Lee says since drivers no longer accept cash, some people have to walk to their destination when they don’t have e-ticketing cards.

Meanwhile, Miss Ministry of Health Shyla Prasad says the e-ticketing system has made peoples’ lives way easier because it’s much safer and handy.

However, Prasad also agrees that many places don’t have e-ticketing top-up services which can cause some trouble.

Today is day 6 of the Miss Hibiscus Festival.

The Resonance Concert will close the entertainment from 8pm to 10pm with their singers Fo Sho featuring Saimoni Vuatalevu.
