On April 29th, 2024, in Irvine, California, Mr. Sal Haro, Founder and President of SCSI Inc., announced the latest progress updates regarding the implementation of Smart City Services International technologies into public transit networks in Mexico City.

Mr. Haro confirmed that all key SCSI technology partners have signed multi-year agreements to create exclusive, multi-featured passenger security, convenience, and revenue accounting solutions for private passenger transit buses.

Furthermore, Mr. Haro stated that 2024 would mark the first year of introducing their unique product to their first transit customer, who operates 15,000 buses transporting millions of passengers daily. The first 1,000 bus installations are planned by all partners and continue with the goal of 15,000.

Moreover, the company will introduce a digital fare payment alternative choice with a multi-featured debit card provided by a major Mexican/USA bank, which is their partner. “These three features benefit the bus customer with reduced cash revenue loss, greater transit custom data capture, and comprehensive debit card benefits to both the bus company and regular passengers," added Mr. Haro.

SCSI also plans to provide contracted products and services advertising to transit riders'’ mobile phones, which will include mobile messaging to maintain transit customer loyalty programs and provide all sorts of road and safety alerts, shopper coupons, and general announcements.

In conclusion, Mr. Haro extends his and SCSI's partners' first-time invitation to all readers and investors. They are all invited to take advantage of "our first equity investment" offering of $500,000 to $1,000,000 USD to continue with the manufacturing and installation of the first transit buses.
