{{Kigali City has entered an agreement with the Land Transport Academy (LTA), through Singapore’s Ministry of Transport, to develop an integrated public transport system with the city.}}
The agreement was reached following a three-day workshop for stakeholders in the local transport sector and City of Kigali hosted by LTA.
The Vice- Mayor of Kigali City, Alphonse Nizeyemana, represented Kigali while Mohinder Singh signed on behalf of LTA during an event organised by Rwanda’s High Commission in Singapore.
“Nizeyemana noted that given the fast growing population of Kigali City and the rapid economic development in Rwanda, it was inevitable to start planning and putting in place an integrated transport mechanism that would not only facilitate smooth transportation of people and goods within the city, but also have an effective infrastructure support,” reads part of a statement from the High Commission.
Singapore, which is around the size of Kigali City, has one of the best public transport system in the world.
