Taxi Apps
Kigali has two taxi and ride-hailing apps: Move and Yego Cabs. Both works are
available on Android devices and iPhones.
Move is exclusively available to drivers of Volkswagen cars, so there are fewer drivers, but it’s a much more comfortable ride.
For Yego cabs, you can also call 9191, a toll-free number, to order your ride
Walking in Kigali
Walking in Kigali is both pleasant and easy.
The city’s clean environment, extensive footpaths, and lack of traffic make walking super easy and enjoyable, whether you’re out for a stroll or walking to work.
If you’re downtown, check out the Kigali CarFree Zone, which has been transformed specifically for pedestrians.
Cycling is hugely popular in Kigali, and not just because it’s cheap. The good roads, light traffic, and cool climate make Kigali a great city to cycle in
Motorbike taxis, known as ‘motos’ in Rwanda, are still the most popular form of transport in Kigali for most people. They’re quick, cheap, convenient, and (mostly) safe.
