TransportBN: The Bruneian App For All Things Transportation
Driving the future with Brunei’s e-Solution to the growing transportation industry.
-
Review demerit points or appeal for suspended licenses.
-
Renew your driving license straight from the app.
-
The app also updates vehicle licenses in just a few taps.
As of 2018, Brunei Darussalam has had well over half a million registered vehicles on its roads. An impressive number considering the size of the country; but also one that will only keep rising.
While this may be a moment to celebrate the growing market, it also equates to a complicatedly growing system of registrations, licenses, charges, as well as the expenses and manpower needed to keep up.
This also means that analogue processes like physical forms and documents will eventually be outdated. Thankfully, there isn’t a thing to worry about, because there’s a mobile app just for that!
Registering for TransportBN
TransportBN is an e-Government initiative by the Ministry of Transport and Infocommunication (MTIC) that aims to wholly digitise the transportation industry in Brunei.
But before you download the app from your native app store, keep in mind that you’ll need an existing e-Darussalam account. If you haven’t registered for an account, or don’t exactly know how to, click here to check out our previous story!
