How do you get from Kigali International Airport to the city centre?

The best option for budget and convenience is the Kigali Bus Service (KBS). KBS offers a direct shuttle service from the airport to the business district in the city centre every hour and costs approximately C$ 1.26. KBS also offers bus lines that lead into the centre and throughout the city. KBS offers single and day trip rates so you can get around Kigali with convenience.
