Editing Transport in Rwanda (section)

==== Express bus ====
These run to a set timetable (usually each 30 minutes) between major towns, only stopping at official stops near the destination(s). Even if alighting earlier, the price to the next major stop has to be paid. Almost all routes pass through [[Nyabugogo]] in [[Kigali]].

The buses are run by private companies and issue tickets in advance with a price set by the government. As tickets are paid and printed at the offices (major stops) or by an employee along the road (smaller stops), there is no need for a conductor to collect the money in the bus. Tickets can be issued in advance, so they might be sold out quickly at busy times (especially Fridays, Sundays and at the beginning/end of school holidays).

In contrast to the Share Taxi, this form of transport respects the schedule rather than waiting to be full. Also, they are almost never overfilled and rather depart earlier.

The size ranges from [[Toyota Coaster]] to big coaches. Most coaches are run by [[Ritco]], on which the government holds a share. It is also the only company to have stops all across the country, while its private competitors are limited to specific regions. When it was founded it replaced Onatracom, another public company.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://allafrica.com/stories/201702070052.html|title=Rwanda: RITCO Buses Start Operations on Upcountry Routes|last=Mpirwa|first=Elisee|date=2017-02-07|work=The New Times (Kigali)|access-date=2018-03-13}}</ref>
