Africa-Press – Rwanda. The City of Kigali has announced temporary passenger bus routes and adjusted fare rates to ensure smooth public transport on roads that will be used by cyclists during the upcoming UCI Road World Championships, which start on Sunday, September 21 to 28.
According to city authorities, passengers will be required to pay full fare for each trip during this period as the regular card payment system has been modified due to the relocation of bus stops along the affected roads.
The temporary arrangements are aimed at easing traffic flow while accommodating road closures and diversions linked to the global cycling race.
Temporary routes by dates
Adjustments were made for Nyanza-Kicukiro Bus Station. Its operations have been relocated to Canal Olympia in Rebero.
In the announcement of the new routes, the city highlighted the usual bus routes and the temporary detours, and on which dates they will be used.
