The entire initiative, including surrounding works, cost around 500 million Rwandan francs. Beyond being a bus station, it is a symbol of the vision of Trinity Nyakabingo Mine and Trinity Metals as a whole to continue supporting local development and a better future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the company\u2019s operations are anchored on seven pillars: promoting local procurement, supporting infrastructure development, creating jobs and employment opportunities, improving health and wellbeing, preventing and mitigating disasters, advancing education and skills, and strengthening community safety and security.<\/p>\n<p>Construction of the Shyorongi bus station began in 2024 to reduce road accidents caused by the absence of a designated vehicle parking and boarding area.<\/p>\n<p>Peter Geleta, the CEO of Trinity Metals, explained that as a mining company, it was important for them to also contribute to local development. \u201cWe chose to build a bus terminal in Rulindo because the district did not have one,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Claudine Ntirenganya, the Director General in charge of Communication and Education at the City of Kigali said the new bus station will be integrated into a revised travel plan between Nyabugogo and Shyorongi. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a major milestone that shows we can only reach Vision 2050 if we work together. This station will transform the lives of Shyorongi residents and strengthen trade between them and Kigali. We believe it will accelerate development for the people of Rulindo,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>She added that work is underway to finalize the new Shyorongi\u2013Nyabugogo bus route, a 24-kilometer corridor that will include proper road signs, bus stops, and modern payment systems to enhance efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Rulindo District Mayor Judith Mukanyirigira thanked Trinity Metals for funding the project. She assured residents that the station will greatly improve livelihoods and trade, and urged the community to take good care of the facility.<\/p>\n<p>She further noted that the new infrastructure is expected to attract more people to settle in the district, as transport had been a key obstacle for many.<\/p>\n<p>Once the Shyorongi\u2013Nyabugogo route is operational, it will be served by four large buses, which are expected to make a major contribution to meeting the transport needs of the area\u2019s residents.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-93455\"><img
