Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) has announced revised public transport fares for intercity and interdistrict routes, with the new tariffs set to take effect on Monday, April 6.<\/p>\n

The changes were contained in an official circular released by the regulator, covering major transport corridors linking Kigali\u2019s Nyabugogo Bus Terminal to provincial and district centres, as well as several key interdistrict routes.<\/p>\n

Commuters using some of the country\u2019s busiest roads will be affected by the new fare rates, which RURA says applies to hundreds of routes across the country. The new rates were also announced as fuel prices were revised upwards on Friday. In the City of Kigali, the base transport fare is Rwf 59.28 per passenger per kilometre, while intercity transport base fare now stands at Rwf 41.58 per passenger per kilometre.<\/p>\n

Other routes include Nyabugogo-Gatuna at Rwf3,248 and Nyabugogo-Gakenke at Rwf2,416, while longer trips such as Nyabugogo-Butaro (via Base) are priced at Rwf5,940.<\/p>\n
