Dealing with public transport crisis once and for all

It has been long overdue for Kigali City Council to come in fast and address the crisis facing public transport which was getting out of control. The decision to allow ATRACO to construct a temporary taxi park behind Rubangura House, is not only going to tackle the problem of traffic jams but also the human congestion witnessed during evening hours. As observed, Kigali’s population is growing at a fast rate. With over one million city dwellers, there are few commuter taxis and buses plying the city and its suburbs, the reason every evening passengers scrambles to get a seat on the few commuters hoping to get home early.It’s also encouraging to know that among other things, public transportation was given priority in the Kigali Master plan.
