Share taxis run between two termini (known as taxi parks), but stop frequently en route to pick up and drop off passengers. They are known locally simply as ''taxi'' or, colloquially, ''twegerane'', which means 'let's sit together' in the [[Kinyarwanda language]] (a conventional private [[Taxicab|taxi]] is referred to as a ''special hire'' or ''taxi voiture'').

They almost always wait until full before departing, and can also wait for long periods in locations along the route if not enough people are on board.

The vehicles are usually [[Toyota]] [[minibus]]es owned by a private individual who employs a [[Driving|driver]] ([[French language|Fr]]: ''chauffeur'') and a [[Conductor (transportation)|conductor]] ([[French language|Fr]]: ''convoyeur'') to operate and maintain the vehicle on a day-to-day basis. Most have four rows of seats, each of which seats four adults (babies and children not being counted as they are expected to sit on the lap of an adult). Additionally there are two front passenger seats, so the vehicle can carry a total of up to eighteen passengers, in addition to the driver and the conductor.

The conductor is responsible for opening and closing the main sliding door and collecting money from passengers, and will stand in the space by the door if all seats re occupied. No tickets are issued on this form of taxi.

'''Moto taxis'''

A large portion of the vehicles on roads in Rwanda, especially Kigali, are moto taxis. A motorbike or scooter is driven and a single passenger can hop on and off the back and pay the required fare. <ref>{{Cite news |title=Cheap Asian motorcycles are transforming African cities |url=https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2024/08/15/cheap-asian-motorcycles-are-transforming-african-cities |access-date=2024-10-04 |work=The Economist |issn=0013-0613}}</ref>
