Paying made easier with Citiliner

 

Citiliner is one of Southern Africa’s most affordable Bus travel service providers. Their semi-luxury coaches travel routes spanning the entire South African landscape, with a few extra routes in between. The company has, over the past few years built itself on excellent service, and now, they have introduced one more way to make purchasing your ticket easier.

 

PayD.net, one of the leading online payment firms in the country, hosts the new payment system. This payment method has become standardized and accepted throughout the country, and is simple and affordable.

 

The way it works is by you registering your debit or cheque PIN-based bank card on your profile (easily set up through the PayD website on PC and mobile). This setup will only happen the first time you use it, after which you will only be required to provide your cellphone number.

 

You can book your Citiliner tickets on the online service center or at any of the Greyhound terminals, after which you will be asked to enter your bank card PIN number on your MTN or Vodacom cell phone. Once your details have been confirmed, you will receive your tickets, and you can be on your way. It’s as easy as that.

 

This is just one of the many things that Citiliner is doing to make bus travel quicker and more convenient for you.

Power Saving Tips by Citiliner

The dreaded "Low Battery" cure

We all know how it feels to be at the mercy of the battery life of our favorite electronic devices. We panic at the sight of a flickering screen or ‘low battery’ message, but we expect our devices to somehow stay awake just as long as we do.  But lately, because of how much intense work our smartphones and laptops have to come with, battery power seems to dwindle down.

The thing with the gadgets we tend to take along with us on lengthy trips is that the batteries seem to never last as long as we need them to, even if we don’t use them all the time, the screen seems to go dead at the most inappropriate moment. This can be avoided by following some simple and useful tips on how to save power on your devices like iPods, smartphones, laptops and tablets.

1.    Switch off unnecessary connections - Bluetooth, WiFi and 3G connections constantly search the surrounding area for available connections if they aren’t currently connected to any. This constant searching takes a whole lot more power than maintaining an active connection. If you’re in an area or vehicle without access to WiFi or 3G networks, turn that functionality on your device off, or if its available as a feature, turn on ‘Airplane Mode’, which cuts all data and cellular connections to save significant battery power.

2.    If you have multiple applications open and running in the background, but you are only using one or two of them at a time, close the unnecessary ones. Any process running, even in the background, uses battery power to maintain itself. Small applications may seem insignificant, but it all adds up, and could save you an hour or two on your available time.

3.    Having a brightly lit background and screen may be convenient when you have access to a power source, but on a long trip, it may be necessary to compromise. Adjust your device’s brightness level to a point where it is still comfortable to see what is happening on the screen, but its not quite as bright as the sun. Usually, the mid-point of any brightness setting is a good place to be to save power and still maintain a clear screen.

4.    If you’re not planning on using a device for more than an hour, turn it off completely instead of just switching to standby. Sure, switching it back on takes some extra power, so switching it on and off every hour is not worth it, so make sure you’re prepared to leave it off for a significant period, or else the standby will continue to work away your battery power, even without being used.
